GEREZ MOUNTAINS

Portuguese Serra Do Gerez, Spanish Sierra De Jars, short range of mountains, less than 20 mi (32 km) long, with a maximum width of about 11 mi, reaching an elevation of nearly 5,000 ft (1,507 m). They run east-northeast from Portugal's northwestern interior into Spanish Galicia. The area is known for deer, boar, and partridge hunting, as well as for its Roman ruins, including the remains of a highway that led from Braga to Rome.
