Vila Galé Hotel Serra da Estrela.

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 statue, in honor of D. Sancho I (second King of Portugal), was inaugurated on May 28, 1956. The pedestal bears the inscription: "D. Sancho I, 2nd King of Portugal 1185 – 1211, granted Guarda city charter on November 27, 1199."

A cathedral steeped in history, with tombs within the church, views over the city, and beautiful statues. Tickets cost €1.50 to enter the cathedral and €2.50 to visit the cathedral and the viewpoint over the city.

Among the secret corners of Portugal, the Côa River is a discreet treasure. It rises in Fóios and flows through valleys and hills until it joins the Douro River in Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Even here, where it flows gently and seems like just a trickle, the valley reveals all its magic. It's the ideal place to rest for a moment, cool your feet, and let yourself be enveloped by the river's serenity before resuming your journey.

Built on the Côa River, Sabugal Castle preserves centuries of borders and memory. Once part of the Kingdom of León, it passed to Portugal in 1297 and became a strategic staging ground for the Portuguese-British troops during the Third French Invasion. Today, it continues to stand as a living testament to the long history of one of Europe's oldest nations.

The city of Guarda, known as the highest city in Portugal, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Founded by King Sancho I in 1199, the city played a crucial role in defending the Portuguese border and in the country's history. The city is home to several historic buildings, such as the Church of São Vicente, the former Convent of São Francisco, and the Guarda Museum, housed in the former Episcopal Palace. The city has undergone continuous development, honoring its past and seeking modernization, without losing sight of its historical and cultural heritage. 👍
