We’ve stayed at about 20 sites since we left home last August and all have had some merits but the one we are staying on at the moment is definitely one of the best.
The site itself is small, taking a maximum of a dozen tents and caravans, and it is situated in the most amazing location, on the edge of the Serra de Sao Mamede mountain range and natural park, near the small town of Santo Antonio Das Areias. The town itself has a shop and two excellent restaurants serving authentic Portuguese food. The landscape around us is stunning and there are numerous walks available directly from the site. From the site we have a marvellous view of the hilltop town and fort of Marvao and we are just a short drive from Castelo De Vide, a fascinating town with Moorish, Jewish and Christian origins going back to the 12th century. To cap it all we are only a few Kms from the border with Spain beyond which lies more amazing scenery.
There’s so much to write about that we thought it best to write lots of short blogs rather than bore you all with a long essay, so for now here’s just one photo
