Sortelha
Sabugal (Centro)
One of Portugal’s most intact historic villages: a 13th-century walled town built among granite boulders, where houses, walls and the castle all grow from the same rock. Tourism arrives quietly; the village keeps its silence.
Don’t miss
- Castle among the boulders
- Pelourinho (16th-c. pillory)
- Granite-lane circuit
- Jewish-quarter lanes below the walls
