The Beira Alta region of Portugal is picturesque and diverse. It is known for its delicious queijo da Serra cheese, for its wines made from the grapes growing in the Dao River Valley, and of course for its magnificent architectural and geographical splendor. The mountains of the Serra da Estrela and the Serra do Acor rise above beautiful river valleys which include charming cities such as Viseu, Guarda, and Covilha; smaller towns such as Belmonte, Caramulo, Gouveia, Nelas, Oliveira do Hospital, Penalva do Castelo, Sao Pedro do Sul, and Tondela; and finally the historic villages of Linhares and Fornos de Algodres and the schist village of Piodao.
