Motorcycle Road Additional info
On the way down by the inside of the country we'll meet Covilh? and "Serra da Estrela" where I live my childhood before going to Lisbon. Was there, where I learned to ski on the slopes of the highest mountain of Portugal continental, by the age of 7. It's a small village that is situated in the slope of the mountain, so here or you go up or down. We can find the only ski resort this country has. Is very small comparing with the Alpes, but cozy. More south starts "Alentejo" wish is very plane with a lot of trees, specially cork trees and the lake of Montargil where I started to do waterski it's a very relaxing place. The life here goes very slow and the people are known as being all the time relax and slow. The food is also fantastic as the wine.! You can find hunting food like boar and partridge.
