Vale da Mula lies in a valley between the Aguiar and Tourões rivers, right next to the Spanish border. The current name comes from the adaptation of the Castilian “Vale de la Mula”, which was used until recently. During the Restoration War, this discreet place played a prominent role and it was also from here that the Portuguese offensive towards Guardão began, the cradle of Spanish attacks on neighbouring lands.

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. 👌

A small sleepy village near the Portuguese border. From here you can take a great hike to the Puente de los franceses. The walk there is worth it! 🙂

Armed conflicts between borders have been the daily bread in these areas between the two countries. It was built in the 17th century and currently has more than three centuries of history, where its walls are still standing. Currently, it is rehabilitated and is a hotel.

The municipality of La Alameda de Gardón is located in an area dominated by small depressions caused by the banks, which can reach a 100 meter drop. The urban core is located on the slopes caused by one of these depressions.

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.

Beautiful Roman bridge that is located next to the town of Malpartida and where the bridge avoids the Ribeira das Alvercas. Right next to this old bridge is a water fountain where you can stop to refill your bottles.

This is the border between Spain and Portugal, where the town of Escarigo is located near the Turones River. The road that crosses the Turones River shows a green and close area of life!
