Elvas Vacation Packages


Elvas is truly one of Portugal's hidden gems. This highly fortified and historic town is situated on the arid border region with Spain, and was historically regarded as the strategic connection between Spain and Portugal. Centuries of border disputes and the constant threat of invasion from Spain, resulted in Elvas becoming one of the most fortified towns in Portugal. There are layers of interconnecting walls and battlements, but the real defensive mastery is truly appreciated when the town is seen from above, with the unique star shape to the town walls and forts. The fortifications of Elvas are so impressive that they have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
