Did you know that one of the tallest waterfalls of Europe is in Portugal? You didn’t? Well, now you do! It is located in Serra da Freita, and its name is Frecha da Mizarela. But this is not the only reason why you should visit Serra da Freita (although it is a strong one): caught right between Aveiro and Porto, this is a place you can’t miss when visiting Portugal.
