Covering a 31.750 ha area, the Natural Park of São Mamede Mountain stretches along this mountain, and it embraces the councils of Arronches, Castelo de Vide, Marvão and Portalegre. It is located by the border with Spain. It is a mountainous green Alentejo instead of a dry plain one. Apart from an imposing nature, there are diverse vestiges of human presence: cave paintings, such as Esperança cave paintings; Medieval castles like Alegrete Castle; outstanding urban settlements, such as Marvão or Castelo de Vide. A network of Medieval paths connects the main villages, posing a true challenge to walking tours’ lovers. 1025m high São Mamede Mountain is the most important reliefs in the Alentejo region. There are plenty of quartz crests shaping the landscape. Roman ruling left quite visible traces, such as the ruins of Roman city Ammaia in Aramenha, two steps away from Marvão.
