| Beiras,
Centro de Portugal |
This region is made up of
two contrasting areas. The extensive beaches and fishing villages lie along
the coast, while in the interior the mountains dominate the landscape.
“Beiras” is the traditional name of a region running south of Douro river
and north of Tagus river. |

The region is
one of deep contrasts: the Atlantic coastline, where a temperate climate,
white sandy beaches and the Atlantic pine forests are typical, and the
interior where more forbidding mountains and rocks set the tone. |
