Chaves, Boticas and Montalegre Tour

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Verín to cross the border with Portugal and head towards Alto Tâmega, one of the counties that make up the beautiful region of Trás-os-Montes.

First, we'll visit the village of Montalegre and its impressive 12th-century fortress. We'll also visit the Ecomuseum of Montalegre, where we'll discover the history and heritage of this beautiful Portuguese municipality. 

Another town we'll visit is Boticas, where you'll fall in love with its stone houses and charming streets! Here we'll visit the Rural Museum, where we'll learn about the agricultural past of Boticas seeing the traditional tools that are still preserved. We'll leave you an hour of free time for lunch and then we'll continue with the tour.

Finally, we'll visit the town of Chaves, where we'll admire its impressive medieval castle, the site of wars between the Portuguese and Spanish. This site has been declared a National Monument. We'll also cross the Roman bridge of Trajan and, of course, we'll see the thermal baths of Chaves.

We'll conclude the tour leaving you at your hotel at 5 pm.
