Understand the place
In the municipality of Covilhã, the nucleus follows the valley and preserves numerous schist buildings, a material that marked housing and the local economy.
What to watch out for
Observe narrow streets, fountains, walls and the relationship with ancient rural and mining activities in the region. The village is not an isolated viewpoint of Serra da Estrela; deserves a pedestrian route through the houses and the waterfront.
Prepare the passage
Take time to explore the city center on foot, respect homes and properties and only use designated parking spaces. Confirm any changes to access, events and services on the official network and local entities.
