Sabugal Castle is one of the most imposing and well-preserved medieval fortifications in Portugal. It is known as the "Castle of the Five Corners" due to the unusual shape of its impressive pentagonal keep, the castle's most iconic feature. Its pentagonal (five-cornered) plan is considered unique in Portuguese military architecture. It is approximately 30 meters high and offers incredible views. The castle has a double ring of walls. You can walk along the ramparts on top of the walls for a panoramic view over the city and the Côa River. From the top, you can see the Côa River winding its way through the city and the natural landscape of the Serra da Malcata mountain range.

Sabugal, a town that deserves a visit to its castle and the entire surrounding area, especially the magnificent river beach on the Côa River.

The history of Meimoa is revealed through studies and excavations, which link its name to ancient "mammoas" or the Latin mammula, protohistoric burial structures, half-buried and rounded in appearance. Today, the village combines heritage and leisure: the Roman-Philippine bridge, the village's calling card, and a riverside area popular in the summer keep its identity alive.

On the banks of the river that gives it its name, Meimoa River Beach is an invitation to relax. Between shaded lawns, a natural pool, and futsal and beach soccer fields, there's plenty of space to have fun or simply relax. The bar with a terrace completes the perfect setting for cooling off on hot summer days.

Penamacor, once one of the most imposing border fortresses, still bears traces of its military importance. The medieval castle, classified as a National Monument, stands as a testament to the ancient defensive line of Beira. Amidst narrow streets and walls, memories of the Jewish quarter, a refuge for Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, also emerge. In this context, Penamacor is above all the birthplace of António Ribeiro Sanches, a physician, philosopher, and medical reformer who served Catherine of Russia.

From Miradouro da Peça, the gaze is lost between horizons: the houses nestled into the granite hillside, the Beira plain that stretches to Spain and, crowning the view, the Serra da Estrela, Gardunha and Malcata mountains.

Monsanto, the "Most Portuguese Village in Portugal," rises on the steep Cabeço de Monsanto, where houses are hidden among giant boulders, creating a unique setting. Between Templar walls, castle ruins, and endless vistas, history breathes in every stone—from the Lusitanians to the Romans, from the Moors to the kings who granted it charters. Today, visitors discover a vibrant village, marked by traditions like the marafonas (a traditional festival) and the flavors of the mountains: goat stew, lamb with mint, and carolo sweets. A tourist icon and the setting of legends, Monsanto is more than a place; it's an unforgettable experience.
