Tourist Guide

Even castle towns have super markets. In Portugal, the chain of Pingo Doce are good ones that seem to have the best of both worlds: convenience of a broad range of stuff as well as locally sourced products. And of course they all have a pile of bacalao!

Main tower at the castle. The Marvão castle is much nicer than Castello de Vide!
Castelo de Vide is a Portuguese town in the district of Portalegre, Alentejo region and sub-region of Alto Alentejo with about 2300 inhabitants. It is the seat of a municipality with 264.91 km ? and 3407 inhabitants (2011), divided into 4 parishes. The municipality is bordered by Spain northeast, east by the municipality of Marv?o, south by the municipality of Portalegre, the southwest by the municipality of Crato and west and northwest by the municipality of Nisa. The romantic character of the town of Castelo de Vide, associated with its gardens, plenty of vegetation, mild climate and proximity to the Serra de S?o Mamede, became known as the "Sintra of Alentejo" (this term is attributed to King D. Pedro V ).
