Castelo Branco District tour packages explore Beira Baixa, a spacious region of hills, granite villages and Portugal’s Jewish heritage. The small town of Monsanto is built among enormous boulders, Belmonte has a historic Jewish community and Castelo Branco holds a bishop’s palace with baroque gardens. The Tagus river forms deep gorges on the Spanish border. Embroidered bedspreads and sheep’s cheese are local crafts. Two days suit a drive from Lisbon to the Serra da Estrela. Spring and autumn are most comfortable.
