Circling the Centre
Dramatic scenery, frozen-in-time villages and clifftop castles make for a charm-
ing journey on this loop around Portugal's often overlooked interior.
From Lisbon head 200km southeast to the historic village of Castro Verde . Visit the royal
basilica in town then the LPN Interpretative and Environmental Centre, a great spot for
birdwatching some 5km north of town. Drive east to Mértola , a picturesque medieval set-
tlement set high above the placid Rio Guadiana. Wander the old streets, go kayaking on the
river, sample wild boar (a local speciality) and overnight in one of the area's charming inns.
