Elvas


Next stop was Elvas, a fantastic Walled city. The approach is spectacular with a 16 century Viaduct spanning the valley, the biggest we have seen. The whole city is Fortified and the walls are incredible. These are Napoleonic and are are in excellent condition. Elavs is also surrounded by sattelite Forts.Well worth a visit.
The Jewish quarter is worth a walk as well as the British cemetry.
Nice camp site just outside the town ( camping Piedade)
