Tiny and funny castle

Pedrogão beach

Very pretty little village

Although there are references to its existence as early as the High Middle Ages, what remains today dates from the late 14th century. Within the walls are remains of the old Medieval Palace, where the death of Dona Inês de Castro was reportedly decided, as well as the Church of Santa Maria da Alcáçova, founded in 1095 but restored in the 16th century. During the Arab occupation, materials imported from Córdoba arrived at Montemayur Castle, including capitals dating back to the Caliphate period, one of which is now part of the collection of the Machado de Castro National Museum in Coimbra. Later, the castle would play a recognized strategic role during the Christian reconquest of the territory. (Source: www.turismodocentro.pt)

The Alcalamouque River Mill in Ourém is a striking example of rural industrial archaeology. This ancient water mill, once vital for grinding cereals, bears witness to the agricultural traditions and daily life of Portuguese rural communities, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.

there are free toilets (important when you don't have any change to pay and you can't pay by card)

There is a mini cafe here. There is only coffee, natural ground, drinks like cola and wine. A good place for a short rest. Friendly owner.

From here we continued our journey to Nazaré via Valado station.
