Understand the place

Houses, corrals and streets fit between large granite blocks on a slope crowned by a castle and walls.

What to watch out for

The climb reveals buildings that use the rocks as walls or roofs, the chapel of São Miguel and the fortified enclosure. Allow time and suitable footwear: the slopes and uneven ground are part of the experience and explain the unique shape of the village.

Prepare the passage

Take time to explore the city center on foot, respect homes and properties and only use designated parking spaces. Confirm any changes to access, events and services on the official network and local entities.
