Aveiro cuisine is naturally deeply influenced by the sea flavours, for there are many restaurants in the city where we can eat the freshest fish varieties and seafood. And obviously, codfish. Portugal's favourite fish. 

The project Queijeiras (Women cheese-makers) is developed by the Mountain Villages network in partnership with the designer Sandra Pinho and Burel Factory. It is simultaneously a tribute to the crucial role played by the women who work so hard in cheese-making, creating the cheese of Serra da Estrela region, an outstanding product with national and international recognition, but also a means of financing their training courses.

Beautifully placed at the top of the mountain this fork-shaped panoramic swing offers an unrivalled view over the city of Guarda and Serra da Estrela.
