The Rio Tejo(Tagus Beer)marks the southern limit of Beira Baixa. Upstream the Tejo River crosses into Spain. On both sides of the border, is desolate scrub country. The gorge formed by the river is steep-sides and virtually inaccessible for vehicles other than 4-wheel-drives. Along much of the Portuguese side of the river runs an Old Roman Road. Originally it was the route from Vila Velha de Ródao to the Spanish town of Santiago de Alcántara and further on to Cáceres. Water now conceals large chunks of the work, but where the road rises above the surface, you will see that instead of building the road with flatstones, the entire way is paved with local slate stood on edge, its upper surfaces rutted by centuries of cart traffic. Vila Velha de Ródao, south-west of Castelo Branco, was long an important crossing point of the Tagus River, notably during the Peninsular War, when on Wellington's main line of lateral communication between Guarda and Elvas. Many of the Repustrian Paintings in the area have been submerged by the higher waterlevel of the partly dammed Tejo River. Places to visit in Vila Velha de Ródao; Bridge over Tejo River, Linha C.P. da Beira Baixa - local Railroad, Igreja Matriz de Vila Velha de Ródao, Castelo de Vila Velha de Ródao and Senhora do Castelo Chapel, "Pillory", Portas de Ródao and Geopark Naturtejo.
