Nestled in the Serra da Marofa valley, Freixeda do Torrão holds centuries of history. Its name dates back to 1190, and since then, time has left its mark. Among its treasures stands the Parish Church, with Romanesque roots, rebuilt after the devastating fire of 1908 but still faithful to the 16th-century portal that saw its birth. In the heart of the parish, the Solar dos Metelos stands tall with its medieval tower and stately coat of arms, a testament to times of power and distinction.

Castelo Rodrigo holds millennia of history, from Paleolithic and Roman remains to the Muslim presence in the castle. Conquered and reconquered between the 12th and 13th centuries, it became a town and municipality under King Alfonso IX of León and passed definitively to Portugal in 1297, when King Dinis rebuilt and repopulated the castle. Marked by wars, charters, and restorations, it welcomed pilgrims on their way to Santiago and remains today one of the twelve Historic Villages of Portugal.

At the entrance to Castelo Rodrigo, the Monastery of Santa Maria de Aguiar rises among chestnut trees, founded in 1174 by King Afonso Henriques and handed over to the Cistercian Order. From the sober church to the monks' quarters and the guesthouse loggia with its 1704 coat of arms, everything testifies to centuries of faith and hospitality for pilgrims to Santiago. Despite the damage caused by the French invasions and its abandonment in 1834, the monastery's former beauty remains intact.
