While visiting the town of Almeida, don’t be surprised if you meet a local who has the town’s name for a surname. The name Almeida is quite common in Portuguese, and the literal translation of this Arabic word is ‘the family that lives on the plateau.’ The name of this town in the Guarda region of Portugal is just one example of the lingering impact left by the Moorish occupation of the area in the 11th century.
This historic town sits in the Riba-Coa river valley in the Beira district, and has a number of historical monuments worth visiting. Two in particular are castles: the Castelo Bom and the Castelo Melhor. Portugal has a long history of needing to defend itself from invaders, and these two castles are part of a series of fortifications known as the ‘border castles.’ Ask at your EasyToBook.com discount hotel in Almeida for information about the 20 Castles Route if you want to see them all.
