Portas do Ródão

Here the Tejo in its way enters this country, 53 meters large and very discrete.
Portas de Ródão is a geological formation located close to Vila Velha de Ródão, resulting from the intersection of the hard quartzite relief of Serra das Talhadas with the course of the Tagus River. In this place there is a narrowing of the valley, which here runs between two steep walls, which reach around 170 m in height, resembling two "doors", one to the north in the District of Castelo Branco, Beira Baixa, and another to the south in the Municipality of Nisa, District of Portalegre, Alto Alentejo.
