Sever do Vouga

The municipality of Sever do Vouga covers much of the Serra do Arestal, part of the Gralheira Massif, as well as the Vouga River valley, a natural heritage classified under the Natura Network.

In a rural environment reminiscent of the coast, it demonstrates well the ability of the people of the land to extract fruitful results from geo-cultural symbiosis.

The story is that when Visigoths and Suevi fought for the territory now known as Sever do Vouga, at the beginning of the 6th century and, after the victory of the first, one of its remarkable warriors - the Count of Sevéri- will have been established here. For many years the descendant relatives of this count will have used the same title, eventually giving rise to the current toponym, together with the word Vouga, name of the river that passes through the county.
