If you have a spare day or two and you don’t mind traveling 20 miles, check out Macedo de Cavaleiros. This lively place has lots of things to keep you busy. Among the first stops you make here should be Albufeira do Azibo, Macedo de Cavaleiros Municipal Market and Eira Park. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Chaves, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Chaves Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Torre de Menagem & Museu Militar and Forte de Sao Francisco.)
