Tue 13 May - Marvao, Portugal

Tue 13 May- after the included buffet breakfast, we tried to find the medieval road shown on the town map. We were unsuccessful, but the walk was very pleasant. Actually, the streets of Marvao seem medieval - cobblestones, narrow and winding. We continued walking the now-familiar streets back to the castle on this cool cloudy day, sat in the castle garden just enjoying the sound of the fountain and the birds, admiring the view of the countryside.
We had an early snack at the 'Restaurante Casa do Povo' of 'sopa de dia' and 'salada mista', then 'pudim de ovos' for dessert (an egg custard like Flan). We returned to Casa do Povo for dinner: veal steak and pork ribs with potatoes & garlic, a split of Borba red wine, and chocolate mousse for dessert.
