Thursday 10th April 2023.
Although we arrived here yesterday afternoon we decided to leave it until this morning to explore the village having had a very peaceful night on the excellent aire.
It was only 100m to the village and as you will see from the photos we were able to walk around without sharing the village with others.
This ancient village is built high up on a hill and there is now a new town built on the flatland below.
Figueira de Castell Rodrigo.
At the summit of the hill is the ancient castle where it cost us the huge sum of 1 euro each to enter.
Many things have of course changed over the centuries.
It was obvious that the village was used to having tourists however as we walked around none of the cafes etc were open to enable us to contribute to the local economy, we did however spend a fair bit in the supermarket in Figueira.
We returned to Homer and had lunch before driving another 20 minutes to tonight’s stop.
