People always say that beauty comes from the inside. The inland towns of Covilhã, Guarda and Castelo Branco state that fact. Beautiful heritage treasures, memories made of stones, streets filled of History, buildings engraved with historical marks, churches covered in blue and white tiles, breath-taking design bridges and colourful walls converted into awesome street art achievements. The past and the future hand-in-hand.

There is no place like Fátima. One of the most impressive Catholic sanctuaries in the world, Fátima is also a place of utter silence. A place for spiritual journeys. Of inner enlightenment.
