Afonso Henriques, some guarantees and lands were granted to this community, which expanded through all the Portuguese territory up to the 16th century. More than just buildings or material testimonies of the Jewish presence, this is a tour about the rich history and culture of this community.

Discovering the historic village of Monsanto

Discovering the historic village of Monsanto

Our adventures are not just made of Nature and proof of this is our visit to the historic village of Monsanto In 1938, this was considered the most Portuguese village in Portugal and was awarded the silver rooster that it still proudly displays today on its Lucano tower. In this village everything seems magical, its location on the slope of a granite outcrop meant that the village's inhabitants built houses using the huge boulders as part of the housing structure, often defying the laws of physics. At the top we find the Monsanto castle which still shows its grandeur and the ingenuity of the Portuguese people who built it, also becoming known in recent years for being one of the settings for the famous series "Game of Thrones" All of this will always be accompanied by breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable displays of nature.

The city of Coimbra was the first capital of the kingdom of Portugal, but its history goes back much further. It came to prominence in Roman times, but it was during the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula that the city of Coimbra became instrumental in consolidating the formation of the kingdom of Portugal, the oldest nation-state in Europe. That’s why this city has some of the most impressive medieval monuments in Portuguese history, which we invite you to discover in the company of local guides who were former students at the University of Coimbra, the oldest in Portugal.

Coimbra is not a popular tourist center, and that is a good thing. A stroll through the old city with its stately medieval buildings without the crowds of tourists is not a common pleasure. But you will not find peace and quiet here – the old capital of Portugal has long opened the doors of its university to young people from all over Europe (and now the world). The vibrancy of the university city is picked up in the more out-of-the-way areas, where it's nice to sit in a café, go shopping or relax during an evening of fun.

The Upper Town, walled off from the rest of the city – and from the passage of time – by fortress walls, invites visitors to immerse themselves in its long history. Once the capital of Portugal, the narrow streets and opulent buildings still bear the imprint of grandeur. However, it is not the cathedral or the royal palace that towers over the city, but the temple of science – the University, one of the oldest in Europe. Many of the Old Town's monuments are related to it in one way or another: the Baroque library building, the chapel with the bell that many generations of students call "The Goat".

The Sala dos Capelos and the Via Latina colonnade are also worth a visit. It's impossible to imagine a Portuguese city without its greatest cathedrals, and Coimbra is no exception. The ancient architectural masterpiece, Sé Velha, is more like a Romanesque castle made of light-colored stone. The nearby Se Nova Cathedral is much more recent and, on the contrary, has an extravagant elegance. Tours also stop at the monastery of Santa Clara. Lovers of medieval romance should visit the Villa of Tears and take away a little sadness for the fate of the unfortunate lovers, King Pedro and Ines de Castro.

The Lower Town has remarkable places of varying degrees of strangeness. In the Park of Miniatures, you can admire architecture from all over Portugal and its former colonies. On the streets, local guides will point out not only monuments, but also delicious places and interesting shops. And for a true taste of Portugal, you should visit the country's wineries and surrounding villages, where culinary traditions are jealously guarded.
