Visiting nowadays Elvas's city is a passionate adventure. If we leave the car in the suburbs, before entering the old town, and we enter the population for someone of his covered ways, way of someone of his strengthened doors, we will live through the sensation of moving back in the time, of placing in the century XVII and live the sensations of that epoch. The booths and police officer's positions, the revellines, his pits and cañoneras, seem to encourage. We will be able to listen to the noise of the weapon, the rhythmic step of soldiers' squads, at the time that there is listened the saint and sign of the reliefs. Us it is difficult to imagine the thunderous noise of his cannons shooting to the unison, the smell of gunpowder, the harangues and the shouts of the injured men. |
