Pitões das Júnias is a Portuguese parish in the municipality of Montalegre, with an area of 36.89 km2 and 151 inhabitants (2021). Its population density is 4.1 inhabitants/km².
At 1200 meters above sea level, with the cliffs and peaks of Gerês to the west and northwest, and the Mourela plateau to the east and northeast, Pitões das Júnias is one of the most visited villages in the municipality of Montalegre. In addition to the rich fauna and flora, it offers other reasons for a walk, concentrated on the four-kilometre footpath - covered in about 1h30 - between the cemetery and the center of the village. And it perpetuates traditions that are found nowhere else.
The high altitude of the parish seat (1103 m) makes it one of the highest villages in Portugal, along with Gralheira in the Serra de Montemuro.

The parish is located within the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Its history is interconnected with the Monastery of Santa Maria das Júnias, a Portuguese national monument composed of a monastery and its annexed temple, which were built during the first half of the 12th century.

Pitões das Júnias has become one of the most visited villages of Montalegre, mostly due to its fauna and flora, landscapes, walking trails, smoked meats and well-preserved traditions.
