Castelo de Elvas
Visit Elvas is truly one of Portugal’s hidden gems, an historic and wonderfully preserved town situated on the arid plains of the Portuguese-Spanish border. Elvas is located in the far east of the country, and few tourists rarely consider visiting, but those who make the journey will be rewarded with a fascinating town rich in history and beauty.
Museu Militar de Elvas
Elvas so highly fortified - The rugged landscape of the Portuguese-Spanish border made the region surrounding Elvas the natural crossing point between the two countries. When King John declared Portugal independent from Spain in 1640, a massive defensive construction project was initiated to make Elvas the first line of defence against any Spanish invasion. The walls of the city were designed so that no side was left unprotected, resulting in the formation of a unique star arrangement comprising bastions, ravelins and hidden passages.

The most memorable thing about this trip is that it was canceled with no warning whatsoever. Only when I called the operator was I told it was cancelled twenty minutes after scheduled pickup. The other memorable thing is that you already knew that this occurred and you insult me with an email asking how was my trip as if it happened!

We booked this tour before Covid and had to reschedule. But we are very glad Knight riders were able to fit us in with such short notice.Booking was easy and any correspondence was replied to quickly. It made our holiday and was an unforgettable experience. There is something for everyone on this trip. Lots to learn, amazing views and great food/drink. The best part of the day however, was our tour guide Hugo. Who went above and beyond to make the experience special for us. No request was too big or too small. He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. 10/10 would recommend
