Cold!
It was VERY cold! You can see someone was warming up their gloves by the fire.
Our guide, Johnny, made a great fire, as you can see, and he heated up this GREAT juice that we LOVED and gave us everywhere we went over the fire. We also had some really good ginger snap cookies.

There was a higher viewpoint at Eira do Serrado but, unfortunately, we had been feeling sick for a couple of days. Climbing up stairs to get to the next level would usually be something we would power through on a vacation like this but between the cold temps and the coughing and wheezing, we had seen enough of the view for the day.

The village is very isolated and lives mainly on what it grows. They're supposed to have very good chestnuts and have an annual Chestnut Festival.
