The Montesinho Natural Park is one of the largest natural parks of the 12 existing in Portugal. It is located in the Trás – os – Montes region (in the northeast of Portugal), which covers the northern part of the municipalities of Bragança and Vinhais, which are part of the so-called “Terra Fria Transmontana”. The park has two large mountains – Serra da Coroa (west side) and Serra de Montesinho (east side), which gives the park its name.
