In the harsh territories of the Interior, along the most ancient European frontier, lies the history of the formation and defence of Portugal as a nation. Exploring the history and traditions of this territory is like reviving the historical adventures and can only be completed with regional food and wine tastings sessions.
Find your own rhythm in discovering these ancient lands by walking or biking on lone roads and natural trails. Here we propose you one of the multiple trips available on this same theme, designed to tour between the two major Portuguese rivers – the Tagus and the Douro – where the ancient castles, fortifications and villages exist side by side with Natural Parks & Reserves, Megalithic heritage, pre-historic sites and vast geological phenomenon.
