Travellers will benefit and enjoy the wonderful ancient architecture and history of the region, including Monsanto which was voted the most Portuguese town in Portugal (It was also the town where ‘Heart of the Dragon’ and some of ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed due to it’s ancient landscape). There are several organic/eco markets and a diverse population in the local neighbourhoods.
