Nestled in the Serra da Marofa valley, Freixeda do Torrão holds centuries of history. Its name dates back to 1190, and since then, time has left its mark. Among its treasures stands the Parish Church, with Romanesque roots, rebuilt after the devastating fire of 1908 but still faithful to the 16th-century portal that saw its birth. In the heart of the parish, the Solar dos Metelos stands tall with its medieval tower and stately coat of arms, a testament to times of power and distinction.

Castelo Rodrigo holds millennia of history, from Paleolithic and Roman remains to the Muslim presence in the castle. Conquered and reconquered between the 12th and 13th centuries, it became a town and municipality under King Alfonso IX of León and passed definitively to Portugal in 1297, when King Dinis rebuilt and repopulated the castle. Marked by wars, charters, and restorations, it welcomed pilgrims on their way to Santiago and remains today one of the twelve Historic Villages of Portugal.

Castelo Rodrigo is a village with a medieval soul, where time has left its deep marks: walls, stone streets and remains of an ancient community of New Christians. Surrounded by magnificent landscapes, from the Douro International Natural Park to the Côa Valley, passing through the Serra da Marofa and the Faia Brava Reserve, this village is an invitation to contemplation and to taste. Here, history is served at the table: Marofa lamb, octopus in migas or rice are flavors that count as much as the books.
