Beira Interior hotels - About Beira Interior
Beira (pronounced [ˈbɐjɾɐ]) was one of the six traditional provinces or "comarcas" of Portugal.
In the early 19th century Beira was divided into three provinces: Beira Alta, Beira Baixa, and Beira Litoral, sometimes collectively refered to as "the Beiras". Some portuguese geographers refered to the part of Trás-os-Montes that lies south of the Douro River as "Beira Transmontana", but that name was never used officially. An administrative reform in 1976 abolished these provinces.
The current Centro region of Portugal covers roughly the same area, and among its twelve subregions are Beira Interior Norte, Beira Interior Sul and Cova da Beira. The name also survives in the name of many small towns and villages in the area, e.g. Moimenta da Beira, Celorico da Beira, Aguiar da Beira, etc.
The most important cities within the borders of the traditional province are: Coimbra, Aveiro, Leiria, Viseu, Castelo Branco, Guarda, Figueira da Foz, Covilhã and Pinhel.
The main river is the Mondego; other rivers include the Vouga, Dão, Côa, Zêzere and Paiva. The largest mountain range is Serra da Estrela – Portugal's highest – other ranges being the Caramulo, Marofa, Gardunha, and Buçaco.
