The splendid mountains of the Serra do Açor are to the west of the extensive area of the Serra da Estrela. Unlike this highest range of Portugal, which mainly consists of granite, the Serra do Açor consists of slate. Not surprisingly, both the walls and the roofs of the houses in the villages and settlements in the area have from times immemorial been made of slate. The vegetation is rich in trees and includes majestic Spanish chestnut trees, oaks, pine trees, eucalypts and a smaller number of olive trees. Among the shrubs, the predominant species are heather, rosemary, broom and the common gorse. There is always a sufficient amount of water coming down from the mountains through myriads of brooks and rivulets. Serra da Estrela: Serra da Estrela is the largest mountain range of Portugal. It also lends its name to one of Portugal’s national parks. It is the home of the highest mountain in Portugal, the Torre, with a summit at 6,538 feet (1,993m). Many rivers, including the Alva and the Mondego, have their source in the Serra da Estrela. It takes about one hour to drive through the mountain range from Casa do Rio to the Torre.
