Alfaiates

Highlight • Castle

Alfaiates holds centuries of history intertwined with the very formation of Portugal. Its castle, once called Castillo de la Luna (Moon Castle) because it seemed to touch the sky, was built in the 13th century and passed to Portuguese territory by the Treaty of Alcañices in 1297. Between charters, royal alliances, and battles, it was the scene of moments of glory and strategic defense, even withstanding the French invasions.

Today, amid crumbling walls and living traditions like the capeia arraiana (a bullfight in which the bull is faced by 20 or 30 men who hold off its charges with a huge pitchfork), Alfaiates continues to reveal the charm of its legendary memory.

Sabugal Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built on the Côa River, Sabugal Castle preserves centuries of borders and memory. Once part of the Kingdom of León, it passed to Portugal in 1297 and became a strategic staging ground for the Portuguese-British troops during the Third French Invasion.

Today, it continues to stand as a living testament to the long history of one of Europe's oldest nations.

Bridge over the Côa River

Highlight • Bridge

Among the secret corners of Portugal, the Côa River is a discreet treasure. It rises in Fóios and flows through valleys and hills until it joins the Douro River in Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Even here, where it flows gently and seems like just a trickle, the valley reveals all its magic. It's the ideal place to rest for a moment, cool your feet, and let yourself be enveloped by the river's serenity before resuming your journey.
