Marvao Chestnut Festival

Why not visit Marvão in the Alto Alentejo on the second weekend of November and join in the tradition of the chesnut festival.
The streets are lined with stalls selling genuine Portuguese handcrafts, artists demonstrating their traditional skills, various street artists and folk music. And of course chestnuts and delicious chestnut cakes.
Marvão is an imposing and peaceful town on the highest crest of the Serra de São Mamede Natural park. It was used as a place of refuge by Ibn Marúan, a Moorish warrior, during the 9th century.The Arab domination ended with the military campaign of the Christian forces led by D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal.
Take time out and walk around the picturesque walled town of of white houses, narrow cobbled streets, Gothic arches, Manueline windows and the magnificent castle, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
A great day out for the family, and they even sell candy floss for the kids!
