Seia isn't just a pit stop on the way to Torre. From its walkable town centre with local pastry shops, to mountain villages like Sabugueiro, each area offers a different experience, and where you stay defines the trip.
Linhares da Beira doesn't have neighborhoods, it has one granite street, a castle, and three hundred people.
