On the road to the Spanish border, this small village is situated next to one of the old routes followed by the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
In fact, one can find the solitary old granite cross by the side of the road, probably built in the 16th century and carved with scallop shells, one of the symbols worn by pilgrims travelling to the tomb of St. James.
Between Castelo Rodrigo and Almofala, the road passes by the reservoir formed by the Santa Maria de Aguiar dam.
