While your on holiday in Portugal, visit the three ancient provinces known as the Beiras. Visit the lovely university city of Beira Litoral. The neighboring coastline forms part of the Costa de Prata (Silver coast) and has largely escaped development, though it does have resorts at Figueira da Foz. Inland has the spectacular terrain of the Beira Alta. At this point the small granite hills begin to develop into great mountains. It is laced with giant boulders and flowery meadows. Further south, the mountains give way to the agricultural plains of the Beira Baixa. It lacks the monuments and mountains of its neighbors, but is still worth exploring.
