Serra da Estrela



Serra da Estrela - 2000 m!! - great mountains :-) nice, welcoming fog (for me, not for the car drivers, of course). We reached the very top, by car, and wanted to buy Serra da Estrela cheese - they say it's the best. Entered a shop and I literally couldn't escape from there without buying the cheese. It was delicious anyhow. Went further and "met" a shephard who turned into a seller. He made us try ALL his cheese, I guess. Everything. Bought some, as well, but couldn't make him stop asking us to try this and that. "try this", "no, thank you", "eat" and we had to eat and this ritual continued until we were completely full and almost drunk - of course, you cannot eat cheese without tasting some home-made wine. Lovely shephard!
