Felgueiras, a charming city in the North of Portugal 

Felgueiras is a small town in the north of Portugal. Full of charm, in this quiet city you will have rest away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Our recommendation is to discover the center, full of history. Its historical heritage is huge, and it is even part of the Romanesque Route. We can highlight monuments such as: the Monastery “Santa Maria de Pombeiro”, the Church of “Salvador de Unhão”, the Church of “São Mamede de Vila Verde” ... Another advice is to contemplate the Brazilian architecture of "Casa das Torres", visit "Casa do Curral", historically associated with Júlio Dinis and Magalhães Lemos. You can also visit the Palaces of the province and stroll through their gardens where you will find the Bust of Magalhães Lemos. We invite you to discover by yourself this wonderful city! 

At the same time, the city is well known for its footwear industry. The coolest national and international firms, such as Kikers, Pikolinos or Inditex, rely on the artisan know-how of the Portuguese locality to produce their shoes.

On the other hand, the city of Guimarães is less than 30 minutes from the hotel. It is considered as the first city in Portugal. In short, the history of Portugal begins at this point of the country. Therefore, the city has many monuments recognized by UNESCO. We advise you to discover them, starting by the Castle of Guimarães, a treasure of medieval times.
