Estremoz

Estremoz is a special wine village. Surely the blame lies with its location on top of a hill and surrounded by walls that were a castle. It is from these towns almost film in which is entered through a winding road that you have to go under an arch that looks that once was closed. One imagines invaders trying to tear down that gate with battering rams and catapults. It is a tiny town but charming. At the top is a lovely square, with a church and a great pousada if you want to get away there. The views are fantastic.
