Border Castles Route Between Tejo and Douro

In the harsh territories of the Interior, along with the most ancient European borderline, lies the history of the formation and defence of Portugal. Here, between the two major Portuguese rivers – the Tagus and the Douro – the Natural Parks and the pre-historic, geological sites coexist with castles and villages. Exploring the history and traditions of this rich territory is like an adventure that can only be completed with regional food and wine tastings. Find your own rhythm in discovering ancient lands by walking or cycling on lonesome roads and nature trails. Day 1 Welcoming at the hotel in Marvão. Dinner and accommodation.
