At 1,993 m, with a stone tower that makes up the 2,000, Torre is the summit of mainland Portugal. You drive right to the top: it is more a viewpoint with a car park and shops than a wild summit, but on a clear day you can see from the Sierra de Gredos to the coast at Figueira da Foz. It is a good deal colder at the top than in Manteigas and the wind blows. In winter, check the state of the road and carry chains.
