Serra de Aire and Candeeiros Natural Park

While exploring the Aire and Candeeiros Mountain Range you will encounter a vigorous landscape, with natural karstic sculptures shaped by Nature and its Elements.

You are in the mountains. A true limestone massif with unique singularities that stands out from the geographic elements surrounding it.

With A2Z, you will be able to walk or bike through some of the most beautiful tracks of Central Portugal, some of which will lead you to magical Fórnea or the Karst Fields of Minde and Alvados. The abundance of aromatic, medicinal and honey plants will make you ecstatic.

Man’s handprint, in this region, can be observed in the spectacular architecture of the stone walls delimiting the scarce fertile lands in the area. There are points of interest all around: deep caves, karstic eroded valleys, native Portuguese and evergreen oaks and, of course, the products of local livestock: goat and sheep cheese and traditional dishes based on goat meat.

A magical territory that has kept for itself some of the most unusual secrets, such as the Marian cult, at the extraordinary Sanctuary of Fátima, and the natural monuments of Aire’s Mountains: the Dinosaur Footprints and S. Bento's Jurassic beach with its echinoderm fossils.
