Day Trip to Vila Velha de Ródão & Puertas do Ródão
Explore the Wonders of Puertas do Ródão & Surroundings
Our adventure kicks off at Nuno Álvares Avenue, where we'll gather to board a minibus bound for the enchanting village of Foz do Cobrão—a picturesque settlement with slate houses that will capture your heart.
The next highlight awaits in Vila Velha de Ródão, where we'll approach the castle of King Wamba. Gazing at its exterior, we'll unravel its history and explore potential connections with the Order of the Temple.
Our journey continues to the Archaeological Station of Enxarrique in Vila Velha de Ródão, offering insights into past civilizations and intriguing historical tidbits. We'll then proceed to Lagar de Varas to discover the age-old process of olive oil production dating back to Roman times.
Following this, get ready for a scenic 50-minute boat ride through the Portas de Ródão Natural Monument. Learn about its geological formation, marvel at its islands, and observe majestic birds like griffon vultures, black storks, and red kites.
Our return to the starting point will conclude this 4.5-hour expedition.
