The first step is to locate and have an idea of ​​where Chaves is, so you can plan your trip. For example, if you're coming to stay in Porto for your vacation, then this city isn't too far away and you can include it in your plans, but coming from Lisbon is a different story...🏰🌲

Some tips for visiting the city/ Algunos consejos para visitar la ciudad:

==============================================================================

En:

  • To save money on your trip, I recommend staying in a hotel on the outskirts of the city center; they tend to be cheaper and you can save up to 20 euros per day.

  • It's best to travel by private vehicle; public transport is limited.

  • Make a visit plan and route to cover as many things as possible; don't forget the castle and the Roman ruins.

  • Meals in the city center are more expensive than in the surrounding areas; try to find restaurants with "daily specials," these usually cost around 15 euros.

  • Spring is the best time of year; in summer there are many fires in the area.

==============================================================================

Es:

  • Para economizar tu viaje te recomiendo quedarte en un hotel en las afueras del centro tienden hacer mas economico puedes ahorrar hasta 20 euros por dia

  • mejor moverse en vehiculo particular el transporte publico es limitado

History of Chaves🌍🏞️/ Historia de Chaves📍🧭

Chaves, like other cities in the country, went through the same process of colonization by different civilizations throughout history. In prehistory, there were already records of small settlements of primitive men inhabiting caves. Later, the Romans consolidated the city, which they named Aquae Flaviae, because here they built the largest thermal waters in Portugal and even one of the most sophisticated in the Iberian Peninsula.🌍🧭⛲

These Roman medicinal baths in Chaves were one of the most important on the Iberian Peninsula and connected Lusitania and Hispania. They reached a temperature of 76 degrees and were built in the 1st century. Currently, they are being restored, and a series of paths are being created to allow access. There is also a museum that exhibits all the archaeological finds found there.🧭🌍

Another must-see in Chaves is the Roman bridge, also built from the 1st century AD. It crosses an important section of the city, which is separated by the Tamega River, and has a very particular history. There is evidence written in Latin on it, and it can be seen how, on some occasion, the river's flooding destroyed part of it.⛲🚩

monastery🌍🌄

From the 11th and 12th centuries onwards came the era of the reconquests led by King Henry, one of the most important kings of Portugal for his victories and conquests of lands from the Moors. Following this, Chaves would pass into Portuguese hands and the castle was built to protect its city. However, from the Romans to the present day, it also passed through the hands of the Visigoths.🌍📍

a partir del siglo XI y XII llega la epoca de las reconquistas lideradas por D. Henrique uno de los reyes mas importantes de Portugal por sus victorias y conquistas de las tierras a los Moros, a seguir chaves pasaria al dominio lusitano y se construye el castillo para resguardar su ciudad, sin embargo desde los Romanos hasta hoy paso por mano de los vicigodos tambien.🗺️🚩

We've covered most of the information you need about Chaves; the only thing missing is the restaurants. But as I mentioned before, there are restaurants of all types and for every budget. Normally, for two people, you can spend 50 euros, but then there are restaurants where you can easily pay 100 euros. It all depends on you, but this is a list of the most famous ones.🏰⛲
