Our cruise ship had an excursion here by bus. Don't miss this place! Nice little shops with food. Very friendly people everywhere and the views where amazing.
Nice ancient village, church. Interesting history of the place. If you have a private tour, they generally do a private tasting at the top. The shops have some very unique cork souvenirs.
Just medieval castle ruins. Nice little village. Popular place to visit so was full of couple of coaches, we were one of them. Some places were a bit too crowded fr such a small place.
So historic and worth the bus or car ride. So much historical interest here it caused one to day dream of the crusade.
Todays trip was to Castelo Rodrigo. An 11th century town with only 469 residents. High in the mountains on the Portugal / Spain border, this is a residential town. In fact, you can buy a place here but should probably skip the winters. We have been to plenty of “old towns” that were filled with shops and restaurants, but this is simply home to less than 500 people. Old, historic, quaint with picturesque views. The church in the town is literally built into the mountains.
Small fortified village on top of a hill with a bit of steep walking in places. Castle and Palace ruins worth a quick look.
Fantastic place, loved every bit of it, and the local people were so friendly and helpful. The castle was very interesting. The views were amazing. So glad that we went there.
Great little historic town. It was worth an hour visit to walk around, enjoy the historic buildings, and sample some of the local products. We loved the almond liqueur mixed with sparkling wine. So many versions of almonds coated with flavors. Of course, there are taste tests. It's hard to pick just a couple of flavors to bring home :)

Great views of Portugal and Spain and nesting Vultures
A nice lookout with a pretty view all the way down to the Douro River. We were lucky enough to see some of the black winged vultures, both flying and at their nesting areas on the rocks. There are also nice views of an old pigeon structure, olive trees and almond trees.
Nice view, right next to the road.
Stunning sunset vista and lookout.
Pretty cool place for buitres' watching
Nice views. Worth a stop

The mountain is easily attained by car from figueira de castelo rodrigo or pinhel. The peak is just under 1000m above sea level and boasts the oldest Cristo Rei of Portugal. There are a number of crypts on the way up which you need to walk to and at the top are two lonely picnic tables with a stunning 360 degree view over a large section of the immediate neighborhood- FCR, the castle, the dam, Reigada, Vilar Torpim, and if you have really good eyesight , Spain...

(Original) Em primeiro lugar a vista é o que se destaca mais pois é maravilhoso mesmo, além do cristo rei e as "capelinhas" que também tornam o sitio belo
