MARVÃO LAND OF RECREATION.
Throughout the year, the local government unit organizes food events dedicated to seasonal products, but the greatest attraction is the Chestnut Fair, during the second weekend of November, where there are several activities, ranging from cultural events to markets selling chestnuts, honey, liqueurs and nuts.
During the summer month, there are many festivals and celebrations in many municipalities. Beirã, Santo António das Areias, Porto da Espada, São Salvador de Aramenha, Alvarrões, Escusa and Portagem come to life with garraiadas (type of bullfighting), fairs, shows and dance events.
Plenty of rural path cross the council of Marvão and these offer excellent conditions for hiking or biking.
At Portagem, near River Sever, we are able to enjoy a pool and a river beach, while eating a nice meal outdoors..
From the excellent local gastronomy, one may emphasize lamb, mutton and codfish dishes.
As far as desserts go, they were either invented in the convents or they are based on local products, such as chestnuts.
