Overview of your Castelo de vide tour:

Experience in two days the amazing Alto ALentejo, your guide favourite area in Portugal. Close to the spanish Extremadura we discover Serra of São Mamede, an enchanted Natural Park, standing green most time of the year. Explore the authentic portuguese traditions with a plan of diversified experiences. I highly suggest the cliff top castles, see how an olive oil press works, how to make lavender oil essence, learn to cook traditional Alentejo food in a farm that is also an open air museum. Megalithic sites such as the highest menir of the Iberian peninsula or the many dolmens in the area. Experience a unique adapted bike Ride on a former railway. I live between Carcavelos (near Lisbon) and Póvoa e Meadas (Castelo de Vide), hometown of my husband's family, so I have a close relation with Upper Alentejo where I own a small farm. Highlights; CASTELO de VIDE , known as Sintra of Alentejo MARVÂO walled town.
