We recommend that you start your visit in Serra da Malcata's Nature Reserve, created to protect the Iberian lynx and its habitat. The reserve is also rich in hiking trails and extreme sports on its waterways.

The gastronomy of Serra da Malcata is based on local produce and subsistence farming. The homely cuisine, with its rich soups and meat dishes cooked in wood-fired ovens or stewed in iron pots, makes for an unique experience when paired with the region's wines.

on't miss the famous milk cakes and "esquecidos", a very popular type of dry biscuit.
We suggest that you accompany these delicacies with a Beira Interior wine, which you can taste in one of the local restaurants or when visiting Beira Interior's wine producers.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the producers: Quinta dos Termos, 2.5 Vinhos de Belmonte Vinhos or Serra P.
