Travellers in Serra da Estrela (Portugal)
| Resumo: | The Serra da Estrela (Mountain of Estrela) a landscape area integrated in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, was, from the 18th century onwards, a place of interest for erudite travellers, including scientists and intellectuals. It was they, through their pioneering spirit and their reports and stories, who helped to boost the Serra, in the interest that it presents today: a tourist destination, essentially of nature, but also of anthropological and historical interest. However, the Serra was shaken by devastating fires in 2022. We think that Literary Tourism, based on this literary memory, could favour this protected area. The objective of this work is, therefore, to provide literary contents about the Serra, in order to enrich it with other types of tourism experiences, namely literary itineraries. |
