SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 12:25

Linhares da Beira is a historic Portuguese village described as an open-air museum, located in the Serra da Estrela region. The village offers visitors the possibility of discovering the territory from the sky, through paragliding flights that allow a unique perspective on the landscape and local heritage.

Alongside the aerial experience, the village offers a land-based route that combines nature, mountain traditions, and local gastronomy. Queijo Serra da Estrela, a traditional product of the region, is part of the cultural and culinary offering available to visitors who explore the village on land.

The article mentions that these activities could be seen on a Saturday, with an indicative schedule, suggesting it was a regular event or tourist program offered in the village. The route thus combines the adrenaline of free flight with the discovery of the traditions and culture of the Beira mountain region.

The Houthis are close to controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most important maritime routes, by combining control of the locality of Dhubab with their already assumed control of the coastal city of Mocha, in Yemen. This expansion significantly threatens international trade and navigation in the Red Sea. In parallel, Pakistan has rejected for now the activation of the Mecca agreement, which could allow greater foreign military intervention in the region.
