		Assim sendo, dirijo-me desde já a quem assina de "untitled" dizendo-lhe que a minha capacidade de análise é rigorosamente igual á sua.
		O "negócio" é, contudo, desequilibrado – as supostas mais-valias de cada independente conquistado, estão sujeitas à configuração da estrutura em que vai agir; a partir daí, ao coabitar, deixa-se normalizar pelo meio envolvente ou entra em ruptura para salvaguardar a sua identidade.
		Seria petulância exacerbada acreditar que seria capaz de perscrutar as razões que subjazem ao declínio de Portugal.

		The two most important villages in the Serra are the fortified hill-top settlements of Marvão and Castelo de Vide, both of which feature on the walking route.
		Castelo de Vide is another jumble of whitewashed houses, and is especially attractive in summer, when flowers hang from window boxes and hanging baskets.
		Of the other walks, the route from Marvão is particularly spectacular - the path leads over the granite ridge that until then conceals the hill-top settlement of Castelo de Vide, rewarding you with breathtaking views of the historic village and surrounding area from the summit.
