After leaving Monsaraz we thought that it just couldn't be any more beautiful. Then we arrived at Marvao.

| Mama got shaky legs |
When we arrived I said we had been here before and Mama said we hadn't and I said yes we must have because it's a castle on a mountain.

| View over Spain |
It sits right on the border with Spain and was a Muslim stronghold. In fact every October they hold a Muslim festival to celebrate the origins of the town.

There is a beautiful Arab water garden in the middle.

And big round boulders.
We went a really long walk down the mountain and then up the other side.
And it was Spring here. We have been following Spring up from the South of Spain. The almond blossom is just starting here.
There are Cork Oaks and apple trees and broom and Jasmin and we even saw bluebells. Yeah.
We went for a swim in a well and there was a funny noise coming from nearby. I caught a couple of frogs at it.
