Hiking
Perched on a hilltop, overlooking the rolling hills of eastern Portugal, sits Monsanto. This tiny town is famous for its colossal boulders. Stone houses are sandwiched between and under these boulders, making this one of the most unique villages to visit in Europe.
Strolling these picturesque streets is a popular thing to do but walking the walls of the hilltop fortress and photographing the town from a few lovely viewpoints are also great things to do in Monsanto.
