With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything 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 out here. Locals will also probably point you toward Macedo de Cavaleiros, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Albufeira do Azibo. (But we’d also highly recommend Macedo de Cavaleiros Municipal Market and Eira Park.)
