Driving in Serra da Estrela, Portugal in January - how hard is it?

Posted by: DanieleFonseca on Dec 30, 11 at 02:14 PM Posted in: Europe Tagged:

Hello!

I am planning a trip to Portugal that includes two days in Manteigas, Serra da Estrela, in Portugal. We live in a tropical country and have NO experience driving in icy roads. I read that this region has steep, tortuous roads, so I was wondering - should we drive at all there or our inexperience could be disastrous? How icy can roads get in January?
