Talitha is a strong and independent woman. She’s one of those girls who never dreamt of being a princess. She never really fell for that kind of fairytale where the prince is always the savior.
And then, real life got into the mix… and Pedro, her fiancé, crossed the Atlantic ocean to find a castle where they could get married. So there you have it: fairytales do come true, whether you believe in them or not.
Pedro found the perfect castle in Alentejo, so the couple decided to have their destination wedding in Montemor-o-Novo. If you never heard of it, don’t worry: Montemor-o-Novo is one of those special places in Portugal that still are somewhat kept as secrets. It’s not like it’s hard to get there, on the contrary: strategically located between Lisbon and Spain, it stands right in one of the most taken routes of our country, the one that connects the center to the south.
Other than the castle and its breathtaking views, Montemor is proud of its beautiful 17th-century manor houses, its convents, and its churches, with Manueline details, Baroque altars and lovely frescos and tiles.
There is also a rich selection of cafes and restaurants to help you through the long strolls around the city. And the Alentejo food will definitely win your hearts.
