Serra de São Mamede, Mountain range and natural park in Portalegre, Portugal.
The Serra de São Mamede reaches an elevation of 1025 meters, making it the highest point in Portugal south of the Tagus River.
The natural park, established in 1989, encompasses 561 square kilometers of terrain containing archaeological sites and medieval settlements from different periods.
The nearby city of Portalegre maintains traditional tapestry production through the Manufactura das Tapeçarias, while local restaurants serve regional lamb stews.
Five designated walking trails allow visitors to explore the park's diverse ecosystems and observe various species including vultures and Bonelli eagles.
The mountain range creates a microclimate with increased precipitation and humidity, supporting both Mediterranean and Atlantic vegetation patterns.
