• Idanha-a-Velha - Established during the Roman era, Idanha-a-Velha is an “open-air museum” that holds a significant place among the country’s archaeological sites. This extraordinary architectural and archaeological site is designated as a National Monument and is part of Portugal’s network of Historic Villages.

We will explore its walls, cross a Roman bridge, and uncover its crucial role in the defense of Portuguese territory.

• Historic Village of Monsanto - Monsanto is considered the most remarkable village in Portugal. The village’s stone houses are seamlessly integrated into the rocky mountainside. Following a trail, you can reach the mountain’s summit where the unique Castelo de Monsanto is situated.

Recently, Monsanto served as a filming location for the prequel House of the Dragon, featuring as “The Dragon Stone.”

We will stroll through this stunning village, taking in its landscape and architecture until we arrive at the Castle. Upon reaching the Castle, we will visit the filming locations.

Pedestrian walk - approx. 3km

• Penha Garcia - Its origins are shrouded in mystery. The Templar Castle, perched atop a hill, provides an ideal view over the deep Ponsul valley, where this geo-monument preserves numerous traces of life from 480 million years ago, when these quartzite ridges were part of a vast sea. During that time, the region was near the South Pole, and trilobites and their predators dominated an impressive aquatic ecosystem. Today, it is the “cradle” of Geopark Naturtejo, the first Portuguese member of the UNESCO World Geoparks Network.

We will also visit its charming river beach, where you can cool off during the summer months.

This is an absolutely unmissable tour that we will cover for about 1.5 km
