Hot Air Balloon Rides In Elvas, Portugal
Elvas, close to Badajoz in Spain, was almost bound to be fortified, both in wars between Moors and Christians and later in Spain/Portugal conflicts, particularly as it is located on a hill top. Actually it has seen new fortifications at many times and you would need to be in the air to get a complete grasp of what it has to offer.
Just outside of the walls there is an amazing aqueduct looking almost like more fortifications but carrying only a very narrow water channel.
Arab arches are to be seen at several places in the old streets and contribute to some fine views.
