Évora - Monsaraz - Évora
This
tour also departs from Lisboa. You will admire the contrast
of whitewash against stone in a strong and open landscape;
it makes Monsaraz a living monument. Everything in the village
is a delight to visit: the gateways to the fortress, passing
the parish and the Misericórdia church, and an ancient
cistern. Look down on the dazzling view from the castle
keep at the smallest details of this treasure and, whatever
the weather, linger.
A Menhir and a Dolmen hide in the lowlands
that are dominated by Olive groves
and vineyards. Olive trees were introduced
in Mediterranean Europe thousands of
years ago, and some of these trees
may have been planted during the Roman
occupation, when they were brought
to the Iberian Peninsula.
After departing from Monsaraz, you will find a fortified
sanctuary, probably from the first half of the 14th century.
Here, an annual festival takes place on the first Sunday
after Easter.
Price includes 3 days bike rental,
2 picnics, 2 dinners, 2 nights accommodation with breakfast,
guide, daily itinerary details, back-up vehicle, and transfer
to and from Lisboa.
