to Castelo Branco

The capital of Beira Baixa, Castelo Branco has a Templar castle, a cathedral, the Episcopal Palace Garden and its famous embroidery. All around are historic villages such as Monsanto, hills, rivers and a cuisine of cheese, olive oil and cured meats — and, a few hours away, Tomar, Fátima, Coimbra and the Silver Coast.
