Marvão is a quiet village located at the highest point of the Serra de São Mamede, in the district of Portalegre. It’s a worthy setting for an epic movie, it is surrounded by walls and, within them, one discovers a unique Alentejo folk architectural ensemble.
It's easy to get lost while exploring the narrow streets full of nooks and crannies that are very typical of the town. Its geographical position guarantees an unmissable view over that region, making it a must-see location on your list.
The area of Marvão has a unique microclimate that is favorable to chestnut production, and every year the village organizes the Chestnut Fair and the gastronomic fortnight in November. This year, the Chestnut Fair takes place on the weekend of November 12th and 13th, however the gastronomic fortnight dedicated to this fruit extends in local restaurants until the 27th. You can already smell the roasted chestnuts and those who are fans do not miss an opportunity to taste them; there are chestnuts for all tastes made in all shapes and forms.
