Pinhel is a town of incomparable beauty. Start your visit in the town centre and discover the castle, the churches and the various stately homes. Continue through this area of unique natural beauty, marked by plateaus, hills, mountains and the remarkable Serra da Marofa.

Legend has it that during the battle of Aljubarrota, a group of soldiers from Pinhel captured a falcon that belonged to the King of Castela. This act of courage and bravery became the symbol of the town of Pinhel, which became known as the "town of the falcon".
28 kilometres from Pinhel is the historic village of Marialva, where you'll find stone paths leading to the top of the castle. Here, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view.
There are many opportunities for wine tourism in this region: accommodation, visits to wineries, wine tasting and meals.

We recommend a visit to one of Beira Interior Wines' producers: Casas do Côro, Casas Altas, Adega Cooperativa de Pinhel, Aforista Wines or Quinta das Senhoras! You'll go home wanting to come back!
