Not far away from the village, on the top of the Sao Miguel hillock, is the Pousada Sao Miguel, the first cynegetic tourism space of Portugal , being equipped with a kennel. But not only the hunting lovers may look for this Pousada, as near it there is the most ancient bull-ring of Portugal and the Maranhao dam ( 25 km ), which makes it possible to fish and do water sports. With a wonderful view, this comfortable Pousada has a bar called O Condestavel, the restaurant A Reserva where you can appreciate the regional gastronomy, the multifaceted room Sousel and the meeting room Sala do Lago with natural light.
