CARNAVAL DA NEVE. SERRA DA ESTRELA

It is 65 years since the old Children's Mountain Colony, in the Penhas da Saúde, organized the first edition of the Carnival of the Snow, with a great ball of Entrudo. Since then, the initiative has become one of the great carnivalesque traditions of the region, especially when it began to be organized by the National Mountaineering Club, which added to the party various activities in the mountains. And if Carnival, as they say, are three days, in the snow lasts almost a week, with a vast program distributed by the city of Covilhã and the station of Las Penhas da Saúde.
