There is a beach 2 hours from Coimbra where Serra da Estrela goes with you into the water

Notícias de Coimbra31 August 2026 at 12:35

The village of Sameiro, located on the north slope of the Serra da Estrela, preserves a landscape marked by the mountain and the Zêzere river. The region offers a river beach just two hours from Coimbra, where the characteristics of the Serra da Estrela extend to the water.

This river beach provides a unique experience of contact with nature, combining elements of the mountain with the freshness of the river. The Serra da Estrela literally accompanies the landscape to the bathing area.

Sameiro represents a destination that connects mountain territories with riverside zones, offering visitors a diversified landscape where the mountain and the river meet harmoniously.

The Day Dona Neuma Stood Up to Bill Clinton

The story of Dona Neuma, the eternal first lady of samba at Mangueira, has become a book organized by researchers José Leonídio Pereira and André Freire. One of the most striking stories is about when Bill Clinton visited the Mangueira Olympic Village in 1997: the American delegation considered measures such as suspending the trains and keeping residents inside their homes. Dona Neuma reacted with this line: "Respect or the absence of the American president." Clinton went to Mangueira, Jamelão sang "A Voz do Morro," and according to the book, he left there "happier than a chick in the trash."
