Marvao

Castle in the Clouds

As you get closer to the Spanish border, the Portuguese landscape becomes more hilly with fort like castles crowning the hilltops. When we first arrived at Marvao, the whole place was covered in a dense fog. It was so thick that driving up the windy roads was really a hair raising experience. Not to mention the rain that made the small gravel roads rather slippery. But we made it to the top and after warming up over a nice piping hot seafood stew the weather cleared up and the fog blew over. More photos here.
