With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, 20 miles away, has to offer. Chapel of Marofa, Santa Maria de Aguiar Convent and Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo Garden alone justify the drive. Locals will also likely point you toward Macedo de Cavaleiros, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Albufeira do Azibo. (But we’d also recommend Macedo de Cavaleiros Municipal Market and Eira Park.)
