Montejunto Mountain

The lovely Montejunto mountain is situated on the northern area of the great Lisboa district, in between the Cadaval (north) and Palenque (south) departments, in a region of great natural beauty.

Montejunto Mountain offers a curious and diversified landscape and climacteric contrast. Situated in between the littoral and the Tagus river valley, the Montejunto Mountain lines off from the surrounding landscape by its altitude and by its natural features. On the western side, surrounded by the blue ocean, are situated the lovely Berlengas islands and on the northwest is Nazaré; to the South the luxurious Sintra Mountain range and to Southeast Santarem and the greenish Tagus plain terrains.

The Mountain is characterized by an intense agricultural activity, with a great diversity of flora (around 400 identified species) and fauna, specially in what concerns to birds, housing about 70 birds species.

From the wonderful Salvé Rainha Viewpoint one has a wonderful panorama.

Montejunto Mountain is the highest natural viewpoint around this region, at about 666 meters high. This geologic structure, with 15km long and 7km width is rich in caves, grottoes, ponds, pre-historic necropolis and fossils.
