Monsanto is one of the most unique and charming villages of Portugal. The village perches atop a hill and is intertwined with the giant boulders than balance close to summit. These colossal boulders have taken the position of houses, had their bases excavated to be used as animal pens and are even combined into some houses.

The location of Monsanto, close to the Spanish border and on the hill, means it has always been a defensive stronghold, while the appearance of the village has barely altered since the medieval era. There are delightful granite houses and narrow cobbled paths that weave around the side of the hill up to the castle. Monsanto lies in the arid and sparsely populated eastern side of Portugal, but this single village makes the entire region worth visiting.

If you don’t know us already, we’re Helen, Andy and our self built glampervan Giovanna. We transformed from her from an empty panel van into our tiny home on wheels. Inspired by a love of travel, we make videos as we travel the world experiencing new countries and cultures. So why not join us on our vanlife adventures. Please subscribe to get our latest content and help our channel grow.

Thanks! 😊
