BETWEEN VALLEYS
OF RIBA-CÔA
We speak to you of a fifteen-league stretch in the interior of Portugal, in the heart of the valleys of the Côa, Águeda and Douro rivers, belonging to the central Iberian plateau.
ROCK ART
FROM CÔA
THE CÔA RIVER VALLEY IS CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT SET OF OUTDOOR ROCK ART IN THE WORLD. IT IS ALSO A UNIQUE AND SINGULAR LOCATION FOR OBSERVING ROCK-BIRDS.
RODRIGO CASTLE
The historic village of Castelo Rodrigo was one of the most important strategic locations in the distant history of this region, serving as an advanced line in the defense of the Kingdom of Portugal.
Continental Mediterranean
This climatic combination directly influences local biodiversity, with the Riba-Côa Plateau being one of the richest areas in Portugal for specific crops such as OLIVE AND ALMOND GROVES AND VINEYARDS.
SAFE REFUGE
Beyond the certainty of a spacious and safe refuge, where neither the dust of pettiness nor the corrupted air of decay reaches, the pilgrim constantly encounters the image of the man he would like to be: simple, free, and happy.
