Manão is a small medieval village perched on a mountain peak in Portugal some 50 miles west of the Spanish border. The fortress there, around which the village sprung, was built in 1277 as a base with which the Portuguese King, Dom Jiminex, could launch incursions against the Spanish Moors. This castle and the town surrounding it are at an altitude of over 1,300 metres above sea level.
Easily accessible from Lisboa, Spain, and the Portuguese Algarve region, Manão has become something of a tourist favorite in Southern Europe, having attracted over 23,000 visitors in 2006, despite having a year-round population of only 231.
