Five-star local accommodation for the friendliness, welcome, service and kindness of Katia who helped us during our stay. Mr. Luís, the owner, is a cyclist and despite being on vacation, was always available to give me tips on the routes to follow. I highly recommend it, and the cat "Pedal" is a little dear who only wants to be pampered.

After the revolution of 1383, Portugal found itself in a difficult conflict with the neighboring Kingdom of Castile. The battle was decided in 1385 when the Castilian and Portuguese armies clashed at the Battle of Aljubarrota. The Castilians outnumbered and were better armed. As a military leader, Nuno Álvares Pereira loyally stood by his patron, John of Avis. The Portuguese achieved a resounding victory, which is attributed in particular to the strategic genius of Nuno Álvares Pereira. With this victory, the Castilian claims to Portugal were permanently repelled. John of Avis was proclaimed king by the Cortes, as John I of Portugal, thus establishing the second Portuguese dynasty, the House of Avis. Nuno Álvares Pereira became a national hero, and the grateful king showered him with honors and material possessions.

The Boitaca Bridge began to be built in 1862, during the reign of King Luís I, as attested by the inscription on a tombstone placed there. Its name derives from the former owner of the land, the French master Diogo Boitaca or Boytac. Crossing a branch of the River Lena, which runs through the parish of Batalhão, it was part of an old royal route that connected Lisbon to Porto. The bridge, in revivalist and neo-Gothic style and tinged with yellow, is defined by a flat deck over six pointed arches, surrounded by buttresses, on which rise pinnacles. Between these elements, and contributing even more to the Gothic air of the monument, is the stone fence with quatrefoils.
