A aldeia mais portuguesa! Não nasci lá mas toda a minha familia sim. E o meu cantinho preferido… adoro estar lá. Quando chego parece que o tempo parou para mim. Tenho a sorte de ambos os meus avós ainda morarem lá, vou com bastante frequência. Quem não conhece que va visitar a aldeia. Não vai ficar desiludido.

I can honestly say I know nothing of the "House of the Dragon", but I loved the scenery. What stood out to me is the sheer volume of rocks! I've never seen so many rocks in my life. I think it's safe to say they had plenty of building material for this castle! A great explore! Thanks so much for the history lessons and the mini guided tour. For those of us who are not able to pick up and go around the world, this is our opportunity to see the sights. Thank you again, Danny! Great job as usual! P.S. I've gotta say it. This village really "rocks". Lol 🤣 So sorry for the cheesy joke. I couldn't let that one slide. 😁

[@clintmyers9061]

Not even noon here and I'm choaking on my coffee from your bloopers! Hahaha thanks! I needed that.

Monsanto apareceu no episódio 10 de House of the Dragon. As gravações foram um desafio para a HBO e teve que contar com o exército português para levar os equipamentos para o local e o elenco tinha que andar da vila para as pedras e ruínas para as gravações. Muito interessante!

[@ivete1578]

Sou fã de House of Dragon E amo esse canal,que bacana visitar um local de filmagem, muito legal mesmo.

​@@ES.Forgotten A história dessa Vila e tão importante, que deve ser bem contada,como reza a história.Quando mais uma vez os castelhanos vieram para tomar terras portuguesas ,resolveram atacar Monsanto.Quando as pessoas daí souberam,levaram tudo o que tinham para cima que desse para comer, e viver e todos meteram se lá dentro,trancaram portas e vamos a luta.Atiravam pedras e fogo para baixo,e os castelhanos lutando para entrar,assim estiveram semanas,, até que a doença fome e cansaço chegou a sério para os dois lados.Os de baixo pior com frio.Os de Monsanto fechados já sem comer queriam se render,mas lá no meio havia uma mulher,chamada Deu_la_Deu Martins que era a mulher do capitão _mor,eque lutava junta com espada e pedras com os homens,tratava dos feridos e distribuía a comida.Quando vio que só havia uma vitela e restos de farinhas,gritou para todos entregar nos nunca,juntem todos os restos do grão vamos amassar e fazer pão.Quando o pão esteve cozido a mulher sobiu a torre do castelo atirou o pão e a vitela para baixo,e gritava, tomem comida, miseráveis senão ainda morrem de fome,a nós não nos faz falta,temos ainda para semanas.Os castelhanos devoraram o comer i disseram vamo nos que aqui não a esperança. E assim foi..Quando eles saíram ,abriram portas levaram feridos doentes tudo para a Vila e foram comer e festejar.Tivemos grandes heróis na nossa história, mas as mulheres também não se ficaram atrás.La baixo na vila está uma estátua dela que o bisneto mandou fazer.E no brasão de Monsanto podem na ver atirando pão de cima da torre,e lá está escrito. ..Deus a deu Deus a ha dado. Gosto desta história,espero que também gostem.Com carinho Maria

Heyy dear Danny, This was a very enjoyable video to watch! This was additionaly such an epic adventure for you and Jeroen, as I presume! - You did a great job with your filming and narrating. - I truly admire your photographic and filming skills! This historical location Montsanto was so interesting and very beautiful to see. Sometimes I even had the impression being directly at your side, when you were walking through the narrow roads of that old village. - I once more loved listening to my favourite history professor, when you were telling the background story of this place. Absolutely breathtaking and beautiful views from the castle, where you were showing the countryside!! - I must say it once more, that Portugal is really a wonderful country and having such a rich history! - Lovely bloopers at the end again, which made me laugh! "Mountain goat", oh my.., how very funny, hahaha..! But however I must say, it's awesome to see you jumping on these rocks, buddy! So I really hope to see you soon, my friend! - Stay safe, kindest blessings and many hugs, dear Danny! - Peace and kindest regards.

[@ES.Forgotten]

Hey!!! Thank you so much 🙏🥰 this was an amazing adventure for sure!!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the video, the village and my historical facts about it!! 😂 Yeah, I'm always jumping on rocks ahahahh Big hug and take care!!!

The granite rock reminds me of the Catedral de Evora. Stone structures are amazing.

[@1lowone]

Hello once more Danny, or is it Mountain Goat, "M.G." or better yet, just G.O.A.T... Another epic adventure captured for us to enjoy, very interesting and informative. The architecture and imagination it must have taken to build all of those structures in and around those humongous boulders is mind blowing. One aspect I would like to know more about was in your intro, those shapes cut into the flat rock, some of which were filled with water, that looked either like a 'keystone' for an archway or a could have been a grave?? I hope it was for a keystone... That one remnant of the building with only the archway standing was truly awesome, and the castle was a marvel as well. Great story/legend of the veal calf and the wheat! Well done and beautiful job on the whole experience!! I don't currently subscribe to the channel that has House of the Dragon, but perhaps will see it eventually to see and compare what you have shown. Best wishes and stay safe in all your future adventures!! ❤

[@ES.Forgotten]

Hey Eric!!! Thank you so so much 🙏❤️🥰 in fact those were grave, if the rocks you're talking about are the necropolis. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, story and the village!! Hope everything is well with you and take care

Hi Danny & Friend, This was very Exciting & Interesting of Portugal & Monsanto!! Ok first question how did you meet Lesley from Bros of Decay? Next why is your pinkie finger painted Black? At first when Lesley mentioned you I thought you were another abandoned house person, but Your Not! Your Video`s are for Interesting History, which I liked this too!! I have Never Traveled outside the United States, I see your born & raised in Portugal, I was born & raised in Illinois USA, but different cities! I have seen 32 states on vacations!! Now this was so entertaining to see how funny , & honest & sweet you are!! I love that in a person, keep going with your Bloopers, another good thing! Can`t wait to see another Video...I am going backwards to see All Your Video`s !! This one is 2 months older, now is November 6, 2022 Take care & stay safe, Love from Central Illinois USA😉❤

[@ES.Forgotten]

Hey!! Thank you so much 🙏🥰 and I hope you're liking all my videos 😁 to answer your questions. I met Lesley through Instagram because he wanted to visit Portugal and he wanted someone that knew Portugal. I only had one pinkie painted because I didn't had time to paint the rest of my fingers. I'm so glad you like my personality and also my videos. It's a pleasure to show you my country!! Take care and stay safe!!

Que episódio ou cenas foram filmadas aqui?

[@Tyler.i.81]

What a magical place i wonder if theres tunnels underground.

[@ES.Forgotten]

😂 no tunnels. These rocks are impossible to move or break through

[@D4Disdain]

Those rocks name is GRANITE I'm surprised you don't know the name since you say that you like rochs. And the round rocks are called granitic boulders. The small castle's door is called the "treason door" or traitors door.

[@a11537]

looks like that will be for a electric train to go up and down

[@Tyler.i.81]

I think its a shame we don't take care of our castles in the uk rebuild them to former splendour it would help with tourism. Not sure what its like in Portugal. Too much red tape by historical society not wanting to renovate eventually if nothing is done all castles will be ruined over time. It should be a proud history we should celebrate. I think Portugal is every much a historical place keeping is customs and religion unlike the uk where we seem to be doomed.

[@ES.Forgotten]

Hey!! Yeah it's sad that in the UK they don't do the same here in Portugal. Almost every castle is restored to a certain extent, for people to visit
