Reenactment of the Battle of Castelo Rodrigo
The Echo of Swords and the Splendour of Beira Alta
To go up to Castelo Rodrigo is to enter a poem of stone carved at the top of the world, where the silence of the plain and the grandeur of the walls guard the memory of one of the most decisive moments in our history. Let's delve into the Restoration of Independence of 1664, where the smoke of gunpowder, period costumes, and the sound of drums bring back the bravery of those who defended our land.
More than just a transport journey, this is a profound sensory immersion into 17th-century daily life, set in a medieval landscape classified as one of the most beautiful Historical Villages of Portugal.
• Feel the pulse of living history amidst the staging and combats of the reenactment.
• Let yourself be enveloped by the aromas, taverns, and artisans of the period market.
• Contemplate endless landscapes from walls that have resisted centuries of battles.

Cultural Experience - special edition
We have created an exclusive journey for the 4th of July, with direct transport from Curia, where the invitation is to let yourself be swept away by a day dedicated to living history. We depart from Curia early in the morning towards Beira Alta, ascending to the majestic Historical Village of Castelo Rodrigo, an authentic stone guardian on the border of Portugal.
Up there, time steps back to the 17th century. We will feel the pulse of the Restoration era through the buzz of the taverns, the aromas of hearty foods, and the live craftwork of artisans at the market. Throughout the afternoon, we will be surrounded by the music of bagpipers and the moments leading up to the confrontation, culminating in the dramatic Siege and Spanish ultimatum next to the Cristóvão de Moura Palace. A unique and unforgettable cultural immersion, designed for those who love our history and our heritage.
