Photographer’s Note

This is the front view to Covilhã, interior centre / North of Portugal. The City is located in the sunrise side of the biggest Portuguese mountain, Serra da Estrela, which have around 2000 meters, one of the few places in Portugal were you can enjoy the pleasures of the snow. The city it self, only have snow once per year if a big storm happens up on the mountain.
Covilhã use to be the biggest wool producer in Portugal and had a lot of textile companies, now a day only two of those survived, which were the only ones investing in good equipment and technology.
You can also find there an excellent sheep milk cheese, to best one in Portugal.
