Be picked up from your accommodation in Marvão and head toward the Meada area to visit the largest menhir in the Iberian Peninsula. Marvel at a menhir that's 7.15 meters tall and weighs 15 tons.

Continue to the Campo da Meada and to the top of the banks of the Sever River, which is an area of very low population density. Drive slowly, giving you the chance to spot some of the flora and fauna in the Natural Park of Serra de São Mamede.

Stop at the train station of Marvão - Beirã to admire the tile panels of painter Jorge Colaço on the main facade, where regional costumes of Marvão and the beaches of Figueira da Foz and Nazaré are depicted.

Venture to the Chafurdão da Anta da Cavalinha, a false dome construction that was built as temporary accommodation for farmers and shepherds.

Next, go up a wall with 3 rock steps, walk about 300 meters, and climb a set of rocks at the base of the monument to reach the corral. Afterward, make your way to the Granja Tapir, which is a few meters from the road.

Walk on a small road that separates the parishes of Marvão, climb the natural steps, and walk to a dolmen. Learn how the stones of these constructions were cut during the walk.

Try to spot the vultures that circle near the border with Spain. Return to your hotel at the end of the tour with new insight into this fascinating area.
