Penedono
Located on the Beira Alta limit, a step away from the Douro Demarcated Region, Penedono is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Portugal. The entire surrounding landscape, with impressive contrasts between the green of the pastures and the gray of the stone, is dominated by a cluster of houses built in granite, historical buildings carefully restored and, mainly, by its Castle. The cuisine is mouth-watering. Simplicity is the key… and chestnuts are the secret! "Marrã" pork or grilled beef, oven-roasted lamb, loin stuffed with chestnuts are the most typical dishes. When it comes to sweets, it's a must to try the "cavacas" from Castainço, which are almost on the verge of extinction, the "filhós" and various desserts made with chestnuts, of course!
