The first you notice about Serra da Estrela is the unexploited and raw nature of its territory. A landscape that hasn't changed in the last 10 thousand years, sculpted only by the elements into a smooth arrangement of high altitude plateaus. In the midst of its protruding round granite formations called Fragas, a hand full of tiny heritage villages are scattered among high altitude forests, waterfalls, natural lakes and glacier valleys.
Inhabited by very few people, these communities still embody the shepherd heritage of the Serra da Estrela. More so, it provides you a glimpse into an almost uninfluenced Portugal. You see it's not only its territory but also its people who are raw too.
This story is narrated by a young boy, who only is at the top of his class in school, he loves being a weekend Sheppard. Probably the youngest herder in Portugal, he refuses to be sucked into the screen of his mobile phone and gracefully accepts his family's open-air Serra da Estrela heritage.

Idanha a Velha Portugal HD
A small village with a picturesque atmosphere, due to its remarkable set of ruins, it occupies a place of emphasis in the context of the archaeological sites of the Country. It stands in the space where once there was a city of Roman foundation (1st century BC), inserted in the territory of Civitas Igaeditanorum, and was later a Roman town. An inscription dating from the year 16 BCE, where Quintus Tallius, a citizen of Emerita Augusta (Mérida), willingly gave a watch to the Igeditanos, testifies to the existence in the urban nucleus in that chronological moment. In 105, the town appears mentioned in an inscription of the monumental bridge of Alcantara, important work of Roman engineering, like one of the municipalities that contributed for its construction.
Several vestiges still show this civilizational permanence: among others, the podium of a temple on which the Templar Tower rests; the North Gate and its wall; an exceptional set of inscriptions of various types and varied dispersed estate. During the Visigothic period, under the name of Egitania, the town experienced golden moments of development, having been the seat of the diocese since 599 and the minting center for gold (trientes). They are material testimonies of this period, the baptistery and adjoining ruins of the Palace of Bishops and the so-called Cathedral, with profound subsequent architectural changes.
The Arabs occupied the city until its capture by D. Afonso III, King of Leon, during the reconquest, was already part of the Portucalense County when Portugal was founded. Later D. Afonso Henriques gave it to the Templars. In 1229 D. Sancho II gave him a charter. D. Dinis included it in the Order of Christ (1319), followed by other attempts at repopulation. D. Manuel I, in 1510, institutes to him a new charter of which Pelourinho still is testimony. In 1762 it figured like town, in the region of Castelo Branco; in 1811, it was annexed to Idanha-a-Nova; in 1821 it became the seat of a small county, extinct in 1836.
Intentionally, and throughout the centuries, it was intended to reorganize the entire urban space, revitalizing it in the social, economic, political and cultural domain. But its historical course, of desertification, was traced. Today, Idanha-a-Velha (National Monument) is renewed. A Historical Village carefully adapted for those who live here and for those who visit it.

Poço do Inferno waterfall aerial - Serra da Estrela - 4K Ultra HD
Poço do Inferno has long been one of Serra da Estrela's ex-libris. The waterfall, with about 10 meters, is due to the variation of the lithology of the places crossed by Ribeira de Leandres. The water course, which runs on granite rocks, encounters a resistant natural barrier of hardened rocks by contact metamorphism.
Here, in the heart of the Sierra at 1080 meters of altitude, the waters are icy, as it could not fail to be at this time of year. Crystalline and transparent invite to a dive, another time of year, of course!
O Poço do Inferno é, de há longa data, um dos ex-libris da Serra da Estrela. A cascata, com cerca de 10 metros, deve-se à variação da litologia dos locais atravessados pela Ribeira de Leandres. O curso de água, que corre em rochas graníticas, encontra uma barreira natural resistente de rochas endurecidas, pelo metamorfismo de contacto.
Aqui, no coração da Serra a 1080 metros de altitude, as águas são geladas, como não poderia deixar de ser nesta altura do ano. Cristalinas e transparentes convidam a um mergulho, noutra altura do ano, pois claro!
