Sunday 29th September

Headed west towards Estramoz one of the so called marble towns where they have so much of the stuff it is a local utility item, forget concrete we’ve got marble.


Estramoz, aka marble town


Even the castle's made of marble

Our next destination along the road was Portalegre famous for its 7000 coloured modern take on tapestries, unfortunately this down at heel unwelcoming place with parking difficulties went into the bad idea’s box of places to visit. So we ended up moving on to Marvao a crag top town with a, you guessed it, Moorish castle. If sweeping landscape vistas are your thing then this place is not to be missed. The castle ramparts also have a  free camper stop with a view that is just priceless.  So this is where we spent the night watching the pending storm approaching. N39,556 W7,37667.
