- Bonnie SChilliwack, Canada1 436 contributionsWe missed going to the second floor which holds most of the material. I'm not sure if it's open on Sunday, but if it is I think we are going back for another visit.Written 23 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CymroCoimbra, Portugal3 312 contributionsLocated halfway along Praça do Giraldo, on the lower side of the square. The Saturday morning I called it opened at 10am and there was a small queue of people waiting outside. The man on duty was friendly and polite. The map he was able to provide however was almost worthless. The design of it, down to the colours used was very poor and I put it in a recycle bin after 10 minutes.Written 17 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kevin KBelfast, UK10 contributionsArrived quite late circa 4pm, having travelled via Odeliet, Alcoutim & Mértola.
On arrival, we used the facilities & bought a few gizits. The customer advisor was, courteous, professional & very helpful. Having seen stone curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) & little bustard (Tetrax tetrax) the previous day at Castro Miram, the target species was great bustard (Otis tarda). The staff pointed out exactly where we had the best chance of seeing them. As (Irish) luck would have it, a female great bustard flew right over us, as we walked out of the centre - caught us both by surprise!!
Other species seen there were, corn bunting (Emberiza calandra), meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis), stonechat (Saxicola rubicola), whinchat (Saxicola rubetra, lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni) - they breed close to the centre - calandra lark (Melanocorypha calandra) & spanish sparrow (Passer hispaniolensis), to mention a few. It’s a great birding location. The small town of Castro Verde is quaint & typically Portuguese, and worth a visit, if time permits.
For interest, 142 species in less than a week, on a none birding specific holiday.
Whether your a birder or just someone interested in nature in general, then this should be on the radar for a visit.Written 4 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CymroCoimbra, Portugal3 312 contributionsGreat location for a tourist office. As soon as you enter the town through the medieval gate the tourist office is on your left. They have maps and information sheets, in a variety of languages. It's quite small and the woman on duty could have been raised a smile and a hello, but worth visiting to prepare yourself for your visit to Marvao.Written 3 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CymroCoimbra, Portugal3 312 contributionsThe location could not be better - in the centre of the town's main square, Praça Dom Pedro V. It's a small tourist office, but has information sheets on the town, maps with suggested places to visit and maps of walks in the area. The lady on duty was polite and helpful. There is an interesting to the left of the entrance door, which is a tribute to the musicians of the town.Written 15 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
