Valhelhas was born among verdant hills, sheltered in the sunny Zêzere valley. Today, it's synonymous with perfect summer: one of the largest river beaches in Beira Interior, with crystal-clear waters, generous shade, and all the support for leisurely days.

But the village of this "small valley," a translation of Vallicula, its Roman name, holds more than just freshness: from the 16th-century pillory to the Philippine Bridge, passing through chapels, a church, and the ruins of the old castle, every corner tells a piece of history. And, of course, there are flavors worth the trip in any season: goat, Guarda sausages, Zêzere trout, requeijão (curd cheese), and the unmistakable Serra da Estrela cheese.
