Castelo de Marialva

Reviewed By StaceyPurcell - Houston, United States

We hiked all over these castle ruins in the hills and loved every second we were there. There's even a surprising church that will take your breath away tucked in among the ruins. My only regret is that I wanted to spend more time here......next trip!!

Muralhas do Castelo Rodrigo

Reviewed By shop4u18

Castelo Rodrigo is truly a step back in time. The steep cobblestone paths , ancient walls, and cultures of three religions all meld into this historical village. Walk into the shops. Hand crafted items ,from Local Portuguese craftsmen are offered... handmade toys, cork products, beautiful sweaters, scarves and baby cloths! Try the delicious almonds... and purchase an assortment! Also olive oils, hand made soaps and balms. Have a coffee. Enjoy the non touristy feel of this exceptional village. Be warned! The streets are ancient stones! Wear comfortable ,lug sole shoes. Have a sweater, or jacket as the top of the village gets windy! Walk through the ruins imaging the past inhabitants and their daily life!

Sabugal Castle

Reviewed By FAlegria - Tavira, Portugal

Called the Castle of the Five Quines due to the unusual shape of its pentagonal tower. Although historians are not entirely sure about this, the Christian foundation of the village of Sabugal may have taken place in the twelfth century.Mr Dinis carried out his repopulation and granted him the charter.
