Belmonte
This village is located in the heart of Beira Interior and, due to its importance in the past and the architectural heritage it preserves, it is one of the 12 Historical Villages of Portugal. And there are a lot of reasons that make it worth a visit to this land that emerged, at 620 meters of altitude, at the highest point of a mountain and where Pedro Álvares Cabral, navigator who discovered Brazil, was born. It has one of the few Jewish communities that remain active in the country and the Jewish Museum is precisely one of the most visited spots, along with the Castle and the Discoveries Museum. The cuisine joins its amazing heritage, and it is highly appreciated, with goat and lamb dishes being among the most typical, along with desserts such as cinnamon cake or rice pudding.
