SEIA and its municipality
integrate one of the most beautiful protected areas of the country, that stands
out for its diversity and scenic beauty, as an area of great ecological sensitivity
and biogenetic heritage, unique in Portugal, The beauty of the landscape, the purity
of water and of the air, the active and strong cultural traditions, allied to the
great dynamism of their people, make the municipality of Seia increasingly attractive
and with high patterns of quality of life.

In the municipality are varied attraction factors, featuring historical and
architectural monuments and landscapes of rare beauty, where the mountain, the
water, the river beaches and the mountain villages play an important role, but
also local products such as: the Serra da Estrela Curd Cheese, the Bread, the
Corn Bread, Loriga's Dark Cinnamon Cake, the Wine, Smoked Sausages and not
forgetting the Kid Goat Stew along with cultural facilities (CISE-interpretation
centre of Serra da Estrela, Toy's Museum, Natural Museum of Electricity, Bread
Museum...).
It is therefore in the light of these idyllic sceneries that we invite you to enjoy
this vast heritage. We hope that this Festival could be a gathering of enriching
experiences, a bonding agent of conviviality between different languages and cultures,
and also a competition which is expected to be profitable and healthy.
A word fits here of esteem and gratefulness to the Organization for the pledge and
dedication, but also for the promotion that ensures to this mountain territory a great
notoriety towards the municipality and to the region.
The Mayor
Carlos Filipe Camelo M. de Figueiredo
