Pinhel
The municipality of Pinhel is flanked by two waterways – the Massueime River to the west and the Coa River to the east – and its name derives from the large number of pine trees in the area. The residents of Pinhel live primarily from the increasingly extensive olive and vineyard agriculture, with the Adega Cooperativa de Pinhel (Cooperative Winery) having achieved international recognition. They also make their living from stone extraction, handicrafts, meat and almond processing, and, above all, tourism and hospitality, all of which benefit from the municipality's rich historical and monumental heritage. The gastronomic highlights include the typical "enchido de Pala", olive oil, wine, and sweet "cavacas".
