Tips
With its fortification in the shape of a twelve-pointed star, Almeida is one of the most beautiful towns in Portugal. It is part of the network of Historic Villages and its strategic location on the border gave it a very important role throughout history. The scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the war against the French, its rehabilitated and well-kept historic quarter is a journey back in time.

We stopped there for a break during our 2023 Lisbon-Porto-Madrid tour.
The historic city with its mighty walls impressed us greatly. Definitely worth a trip. 👌translated by•August 22, 2024
