Idanha-a-Nova

Far from the hustle and bustle of large cities, Idanha-a-Nova enjoys a privileged location, preserving its heritage, natural, human, and cultural values, and transforming its rural surroundings into attractive retreats for those seeking a break from urban life. A region with an enviable natural and scenic heritage, a vast diversity of fauna and flora, and impressive geological formations, it was once known as the "Granary of Beira Baixa" for its fertile countryside. Idanha-a-Nova is a land of contrasts, where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. Proof of this are the legends and popular traditions associated with pilgrimages such as the well-known Pilgrimage of Senhora do Almortão, the built heritage, and the monumentality of the historic villages of Idanha-a-Velha and Monsanto.
