As a solo traveler this time, I'm eager to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Serra da Estrela in Portugal. This destination is renowned for its majestic mountains, lush valleys, and the highest peak in mainland Portugal, making it a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts like me. I plan to immerse myself in the natural beauty, embark on challenging hikes, and capture stunning photographs of the region's unique flora and fauna. Staying in a variety of guesthouses and local inns will allow me to experience the warm Portuguese hospitality and truly connect with the local culture. This solo journey will be a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
