Aldeia de Freineda
A village located on a plateau at 770 meters above sea level, on the right bank of the Coa River, Freineda was very important during the Napoleonic invasions. In fact, the headquarters of Wellington still exists today in the form of a baroque manor house, built in front of the main church. We suggest you to take a look at the fountains and cruises. Crafts are dominated by Arraiolos rugs, while the cuisine is characterized by roast kid and hare rice.
