A stunning, suggestive place. I loved everything in Portugal.
A small village between a 2 powerful country Spain and Portugal, Marvao take my breath away with his small, old and unique architecture. Here, you can forget about time, problems or about yourself, because the beauty of the nature keep your mind far away from the reality.

Main tower at the castle. The Marvão castle is much nicer than Castello de Vide!

Castelo de Vide

I think I liked the railing in green more than this yellow! Marvão castle up above. The restaurant where this shot was taken is called O Sever and is great. Right alongside is a swimming pool / beach area along the Sever river. Very pleasant.
