Gralheira is the highest village in the Montemuro mountain and one of the highest in Portugal, at an altitude of about 1.152m.
In its oldest area, granite houses stand out, with wide walls, some of them retaining the primitive thatched roofs. Here you can visit the Interpretative Center of Gralheira - Casa do Ribeirinho - a space that serves both as a museum and a place to carry out activities related to the cultivation of corn, smoke- house, bread production, clothing and local crafts, having available guided tours for groups. The local cuisine is one of its main attractions with dishes such as wood-fired oven roasted lamb and veal, cozido à portuguesa and salpicão rice. Every year, around Christmas Season, Gralheira is filled with magic, with the "Father Christmas Village", an event that promotes numerous cultural entertainment activities.
