It is the mountain formation in schist that reaches the highest altitude in the Portuguese mainland: the Cebola, at 1438 m. the Serra do Açor is a concentrate of natural beauty, it is a mountain cracked by dozens of limpid water streams and small and beautiful villages that deserve to be discovered, as the Schist Villages of Benfeita and Vila Cova de Alva are examples.
