Aglomerado urbano Intra-muros

Reviewed By martyncymro - Coimbra, Portugal

A small, delightful village of 150 whitewashed houses set in narrow streets with a castle above it. It is a location every tourist to the Alentejo must visit. The local câmara however needs to train its staff better. The lady in the tourist office couldn't give a welcoming smile, the young man in the castle ticket office was gruff and unfriendly and the women in the Casa Cultural couldn't respond when said good afternoon to. That said, it did not spoil my visit and wandering around the narrow streets admiring the sites and the views was a pleasure.

Something any student of military history should visit. The very well preserved fortifications deservedly resulted in Elvas being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
