Each parish, municipality or town is a different surprise.<br> I even have the impression that the smaller the town, the more charming it is, and of course it was no different in Vila Nova da Barquinha, next to the Almourol Castle. A place that won me over with its beautiful sunset over the River Tagus.<br> Well, surely every child has imagined themselves in a time of castles and battles. What girl hasn't dreamed of being a princess, and what boy hasn't thought of being a king? This imagery stays with us all our lives, and some magical places are able to revive this feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iVA4l0FOyHQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> Vila Nova da Barquinha is one of these places, along with the imposing Almourol Castle, with breathtaking scenery. But come on, let's talk more about this castle at sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DSF3482-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"PARQUE DAS ESCULTURAS VILA NOVA DA BARQUINHA PORTUGAL TRAVEL BLOG CRIS PELO MUNDO\" class=\"wp-image-9104\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sculpture Park<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We then began our journey through the Sculpture Park, on the banks of the River Tagus, protected by the shade of the willow trees.<br> While the children play among the sculptures, most of which are interactive, we relax in the sun on the extensive lawn. And if the Sculpture Park enchants you, wait until the next attraction, Quinta da Cardiga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DSF3556-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"QUINTA DA CARDIGA S VILA NOVA DA BARQUINHA PORTUGAL TRAVEL BLOG CRIS PELO MUNDO\" class=\"wp-image-9091\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quinta da Cardiga<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Although it is a private property and has been closed for over fifty years, it is well worth a visit.<br> Its walls are covered in greenery and there's a building that at least piques the curiosity: a medieval tower right in the middle of the mansion. This tower was once part of a Templar castle and is practically<br> intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DSF3730-1024x782.jpg\" alt=\"TRITEJO ALMOUROL PARQUE DAS ESCULTURAS VILA NOVA DA BARQUINHA PORTUGAL TRAVEL BLOG CRIS PELO MUNDO\" class=\"wp-image-9077\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Almourol Castle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> But if it's a Templar castle we want to see, then let's go to Almourol Castle. One of the most scenic castles in Portugal, in the middle of the River Tagus. It's a Templar military building, similar to Tomar Castle. But that's not just a coincidence. Both are part of the Tagus river line and were founded by Gualdin Pais, Grand Master of the Templars in Portugal. Just imagine how many stories these walls must hold?<br> To further enhance the magic of the castle, we go to the top, from where you can see the beautiful view of the Tagus River and its sandbanks.<br> To do this tour, we chose the time near sunset, to close the day on a high note! Some companies offer a picnic on a completely electric boat, with no noise other than the river and the sound of the birds. I had this experience with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tritejo.pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tritejo (opens in a new tab)\">Tritejo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crispelomundo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DSF3781-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"QUINTA RIBEIRO TANQUINHOS VILA NOVA DA BARQUINHA CRIS AROUND THE WORLD\" class=\"wp-image-9073\" title=\"- Cris Around the World\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quinta do Ribeiro Tanquinhos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> For accommodation, I recommend rural tourism. We stayed at Quinta do Ribeiro Tanquinhos. It's a beautiful traditional manor house with a farm full of animals that delight children. Guaranteed fun! At breakfast you'll be surprised by the fresh fruit, picked from the garden itself, and then you can book a horseback ride to enjoy the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_fTuhceVoX8\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Vila Nova da Barquinha is very accessible for those departing from Lisbon, but you can also take the opportunity to visit \u00d3bidos, another village that deserves to be on your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter
