A small, delightful village of 150 whitewashed houses set in narrow streets with a castle above it. It is a location every tourist to the Alentejo must visit. The local câmara however needs to train its staff better. The lady in the tourist office couldn't give a welcoming smile, the young man in the castle ticket office was gruff and unfriendly and the women in the Casa Cultural couldn't respond when said good afternoon to. That said, it did not spoil my visit and wandering around the narrow streets admiring the sites and the views was a pleasure.

A great diversity of learning approaches taken to keep the visitor interest up. My wife and I loved the smuggling coffee game and our barista one-on one knowledge booster session. The whole place is sprinkled with fun facts and the treatment of human coffee culture is especially fun.

I really liked Castelo de Vide! The old quarter with its narrow cobbled streets, the castle, numerous old churches, synagogue museum, fountains and a lot of cafés and restaurants. The town (city) is not very big and everything is within walking distance. The main square, Praça Dom Pedro V, is a good location to find accommodation and in the centre of that square is the town's tourist office. One usually associates a city centre as being the central business district, full of shops of various kinds. Castelo de Vide though is not the kind of town one visits to go shopping, but rather to relax, enjoy some historical sights and to use as a base for exploring the region. Highly recommended.

after you climb all the way to the Castle, and enjoy the amazing views from top of this mount located on the border with Spain, you can understand the strategic reasons and how difficult it must have been to attack it. A difficult walk upwards but on the other hand the views and walking the ramparts are worthwhile paying the entrance fee.

Apart from a very old bridge dated to Roman Times, the story behind it as part of the bridge that jewish fleing the Inquisition from Spain to Portugal, it is an interesting place to visit in Portagem. and well worth the visit.
