The Region
Mountains, stone villages, ancient chestnut groves and food you won’t forget.
All around Serra Mansa lies the Terra Fria Transmontana: wide mountain horizons, granite and schist villages, clean rivers and a rural culture that is still alive in its festivals, crafts and cooking.

Serra Mansa’s village, on the slopes of the Serra da Nogueira. Stone houses, vegetable gardens, country lanes and the calm pace of people who live close to the land.

One of the largest Pyrenean oak forests in the Iberian Peninsula, with chestnut groves, springs and viewpoints. Perfect for walking and watching nature in every season.
