Rota das Fortalezas Abaluartadas da Raia

1319 kilometres of Border History

There is a place where the past speaks through the walls, and the landscape holds stories of borders, resistance and encounters. The Route of the Bastioned Fortresses of the Raia is more than a historical route - it's an invitation to rediscover the relationship between Portugal and Spain, through three Portuguese cities - Almeida, Marvão and Valença - on a route that celebrates the neighbourliness between military architecture and the life that flourished there.

Prepare your visit with maps, trails and experiences that turn this journey into an authentic discovery.
