Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo

Very close to the border with Spain, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo has enormous tourist potential, which is not limited to its historical, archaeological and architectural heritage. Be sure to appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the surrounding landscape: the valleys of the Águeda and Coa rivers, the International Douro, the picturesque villages, the almond trees in bloom between February and March… The diversity of its handicrafts (basketry, tinware, pottery, wooden miniatures, weaving…) and the richness of its gastronomy are compelling arguments to motivate a visit. You cannot miss trying the fish "migas" from Barca D’Alva, the "carrapatos" soup, the roast kid or lamb, the dishes of wild rabbit, hare or wild boar. In the confectionery, highlights include the corn porridge, Escalhão biscuits and "filhoses".
