The village of Mouronho is within easy walking distance and has many amenities including a Post Office, Butchers and a small General Store. There is also a Bar and a Catholic Church. The area is beautifully forested and surrounded by the mountain ranges of Serra do Caramulo, Serra do Açor, Serra de Lousã and the Serra da Estrella which has the highest point in Portugal. There are many beautiful walks within the area including a 3 km trek to the River Alva, there you can find one of the pretty river beaches used locally for bathing. Also within the region are some interesting towns, Arganil (7 km) has a busy market every Thursday and Tabua (13 km) has a local Sunday market where you can also sample the hot barbecued chicken enjoyed by the local folk. Some other towns well worth a visit are Luso, with its natural spring, the very old town of Coja, Monte-Mor-O-Velho, Oliveria do Hospital and Carregal do Sal. Figueira da Foz is a good day out if you fancy a swim in the sea.
