Serra da Freita, located in northern Portugal, is little known by most Portuguese, but this is gradually starting to change. And with good reason. Serra da Freita has a number of attractions that make it one of the most multifaceted and interesting destinations in Portugal.

Being accessible by road through the villages of Arouca or Vale de Cambra, or from São Pedro do Sul, and integrating part of the Arouca Geopark, with sites of geological interest and marked walking routes, the region attracts more and more visitors who are enchanted for the landscape, the culture, and the cuisine.

Passadiços do Paiva is the latest star in the region's firmament. Frecha da Mizarela, one of the largest waterfalls in Europe, is one of the great natural attractions, surrounded by typical villages and where you can make a beautiful walking path.

Also framed in pedestrian paths are the geological phenomena of Pedras Parideiras and Pedras Boroas, which attract scholars but also the curious.

But it is the rural culture, the mountainous way of life, that enriches the region's heritage, inviting us to know its forgotten villages, such as Drave, in an itinerary that departs from the village of Regoufe and allows us to witness the typical way of life. highlands of northern Portugal.

To get a global view of the mountain, the ideal places are its belvederes, of which the São Pedro Velho Viewpoint, at the highest point of the mountain, the Detrelo and Malhada panoramic view and the Arouca Meteorological Radar, have the best views.

Serra da Freita is now part of the Arouca Geopark and there are several marked (and well marked) trails to explore, geosites of particular interest and even a campsite. So, returning to this corner of Portugal, I decided to create the best travel tips to prepare an adventure in the Serra da Freita.
