Castro Daire is a municipality full of natural and cultural-historical values.
Much of its geographical area is occupied by the Montemuro mountain and the Paiva river valley, sites of the Natura 2000 network, housing a remarkable biodiversity and displaying landscapes of great beauty, throughout the four seasons of the year. Recognized as a thermal destination, Castro Daire has been gradually asserting itself as a destination for nature tourism and active tourism, as a result of the investment that has been made in routes, trails and other touristic entertainment structures, such as The Last Transhumance Route, the N2 Route, the Water and Stone Route and the Portuguese Interior Pathway of Santiago. From here, whether you head towards São Macário hill or the village of Gralheira, you will have the opportunity to discover some of the best touristic attractions in the county.
