The Beiras region - a backdrop of beautiful
mountains, crystal clear rivers and verdant
valleys scattered with olive and orange
groves- is one of Portugal's most scenic, and
least known, landscapes. Named green
Portugal because of it's year round lush green
vegetation (about 70% of this area is forest &
mountains) & increasing commitment to
eco-tourism, it is similar to green Spain
(Andalucia) but without the crowds or
inflated prices.
