Pinhanços is the witch balcony where climbing up the valley, facing the majestic, we to look the Serra da Estrela, whose ridges, rough cut, they seem to surround the colossal towel sanctuary of the mountain Serra da Estrela whose gigantic, figure sometimes immaculate white of purity, nes-tles in a hillside village in each hill a chapel, leaving in every wrinkle a stream frightened, pra-ying quietly slipping into the sea.
