In the heart of the Serra da Gardunha, the Historic Village of Castelo Novo rises from granite. The medieval village, marked by its Templar heritage and Manueline style, boasts a unique architectural heritage, from the castle to the Baroque fountains. The winding streets reveal stone houses, labyrinthine corners, and centuries-old memories.

Between strolls and discoveries, there's no shortage of typical flavors: green eggs, toasted rice, tigelada, or chila pumpkin pastries. Here, your eyes and your stomach will feast.
