Hasn't he grown - Silves Castle - Silves

Silves, north of Lagao on the main motorway and easy to travel to by car. Spend the best part of the day here. Most people come to the castle here. The old town area on the hill underneath the castle contain a number of cafes and shops although it still has the feel of a residential town in parts serving the local population.
