Oliveira do Hospital

The municipality of Oliveira do Hospital is part of the district of Coimbra and is composed of 21 parishes, having been elevated to the rank of city in 1993. Its origin dates back to the times of prehistory, therefore its archaeological heritage being noted as architectural heritage. The churches and the pillories proliferate all over the county, but there is also a natural scenery of great beauty. To explore the area, the best is to resort to tourist routes or hiking routes that give you the opportunity to meet Oliveira do Hospital from multiple points of view, without forgetting other factors, such as the gastronomy and handicrafts. By the way, we suggest the Roteiro do Queijo da Serra da Estrela (Serra da Estrela Cheese Route), which will allow you not only to get to know the characteristics of this product, but will also reveal its producers. Of the region's menus are part goat and lamb, torresmos (prok rinds), the enchidos (sausages) and the requeijão (cottage cheese). For dessert, we recommend a queijadinha d'Oliveira (Oliveira-style cheese pastries).
