SABUGAL: The Guardian Town of Portugal’s Frontier

Perched on the banks of the Côa River, Sabugal is more than just a quiet town, it was once a key guardian of Portugal’s frontier. Its towering medieval castle stood watch over centuries of battles, treaties, and shifting borders between different kingdoms. In this video, we explore Sabugal, wander its historic streets, and uncover legends like the Miracle of the Roses. Join me as we step back in time to discover how this fortress town earned its place as the sentinel of Portugal’s medieval frontier. 🎦 Walking tour of Penamacor:    • Penamacor: The Soul of Rural and Historica...   🎦 Walking tour of Almeida:    • Almeida: An Incredible Star-Shaped Fortres...   🎦 Walking tour of Castelo Mendo:    • The Beauty of Portugal's Stone Villages: C...   🌎 Map with the locations of ALL my videos: https://bit.ly/3tRK6NC ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🤗 Support the channel 🤗 ▶️ To support the channel, you can 'Buy Me a Coffee' ☕ at https://www.BuyMeACoffee.com/POVTours ▶️ If you enjoy my videos and want to keep the channel alive, please consider helping the channel.
