Marvão
The peaceful town Marvão is situated on the highest crest of the Serra de São Mamede between Castelo de Vide and Portalegre, and only a few kilometers from Spain. We drove there from Villa Extramuros and it took us about 1h and 20 minutes. We first thought of doing a hike from Casteli de Vide to Marvão but unfortunately, we were on a very tight schedule. But friends of ours to recommend it if you love hiking.
