Our last visit in this part of Portugal before we fly off to Madeira on Monday morning for our dose of winter sun; and what a lovely village to round of this section of our trip. The pic. above is the aqueducto used to bring water to the village many centuries past.
The end of the aqueducto in a plaza in the village.
The entrance into the village through the fortified walls.
The road into the village does not run straight through but does a dogleg, I suppose this was for better security.
Once inside lots of little streets and courtyards.
Little churches.
Very attractive houses.
More of the same, bit of a tourist trap but ever such a pretty one.
Top of the village - looks like the remains of Santa's Grotto.
The castle at the very top.
Walking back down through the back streets and alleyways.
Just as pretty as the Main Street.
Looking back, very impressive.
What a great view.
Approaching the main gate to leave the village.
