Climbers and Alpkiteers
"We are a couple made in the mountains. It was climbing Korjenevskaya (7105m) in 2004 that got us together, and since then we have shared a life and, of course, our biggest passion – climbing. It was this passion that made us change our lives."
At the end of 2016, Daniela and Paulo decided to leave the big city and moved to the quiet village of Manteigas in the heart of Serra da Estrela: the only mountain in Portugal where you can do mixed and ice-climbing. The granite is so splendid here that the rock climbing and even bouldering are spectacular, so they’re in paradise!
Okay, they do miss the sea cliffs they had before, but they’re only 3 hours away. Either in rock or winter climbing, short cliffs or big mountains, what they most like is to do is explore and find new routes and lines.
There is always so much to discover and so many nice places to go that Daniela and Paulo will never get bored!
