Just up the road, the natural pools and a small waterfall at Penha Garcia offer the perfect place to conclude today's adventure.
Manteigas: Hike to a Castle in the Sky
The enchanting Sortelha Castle stands on a crag at an altitude of 760 meters high. The most mysterious of all the historic villages, where you will soon lose yourself in a maze of alleys and lanes as you hike up to the lofty castle. A place where time seems to have stood still. The wind whistles round the corners and hardly anyone passes by. This sentiment lingers when you arrive to the town Belmonte after your hike in Sortelha.
