Castelo de Vide
The small town of Castelo de Vide, 7 kilometers from Quinta do Pomarinho, is described by the ANWB-guide as the best preserved medieval town of Portugal. The picturesque town of Castelo de Vide is located in the Alto Alentejo region and lies on the slope of one of the northern foothills of the Serra de São Mamede. In the past it was an important stronghold on the Spanish border, now it is a lethargic town with a wonderful charm and where time seems to stand still.
