Elvas Portugal: Giant Aqueduct & Star Fortress | Alentejo Day 6

My Alentejo journey ended in Elvas — Portugal’s “Queen of the Border” — where a 7km aqueduct with 843 arches stretches across golden plains and star-shaped fortress walls create the largest fortified city in Europe. Walking the aqueduct base, climbing castle towers, and tracing those massive ramparts felt like discovering Portugal’s military engineering genius firsthand. Join Jolly Good Journeys for the finale to my Évora, Marvão, Monsaraz, Estremoz, and Mértola road trip. From narrow stone alleys to the lively town square to reflective moments by the pool, this video captures why Elvas feels like the perfect capstone to Alentejo’s timeless castles, rivers, and hidden gems. ⏰ Video Chapters 00:00 Bom dia from Elvas Alentejo 00:12 Elvas Aqueduct Engineering Marvel 00:37 Elvas Castle Panoramic Views 00:56 Elvas Narrow Alleys Town Square 01:20 Elvas Fortified Walls Walk 02:23 Alentejo Trip Reflections Pool 🔔 Subscribe:    / @jolly_good_journeys   🌐 Full Alentejo playlist:    • My Alentejo Road Trip: Exploring Ancient P...   #ElvasPortugal #ElvasAqueduct #StarFortElvas #AlentejoPortugal #UNESCOPortugal #PortugalHiddenGems #AmoreiraAqueduct
