Located in a little Portuguese Aldeia, with only 6 houses encircling the small Capela de São Bento. Fantastic location for rural tourism! The perfect opportunity for an “Albergues” or B/B, as our little Capela is a frequent stopover for pilgrims walking from Fatima or Porto, to Santiago de Compostela, ES, via the Portuguese interior route. The “Camino” has become much more than a religious journey. Some walk for the history, food, culture and architecture, while other pilgrims are walking to discover themselves and their strengths. Most are seeking peace and solitude. This area is stunning and embraces all who venture along the path.
