Barragem de Alqueva / Estremoz / Pico São Mamede / Portagem / Barragem de Póvoa – 7.4.2022

An eventful day… We started off at the barrier lake „barragem de Alqueva“.

A couple of clear messages 😉

Some out-of-the-car photos…

At last some vines – and other impressions … The stone heaps are marble!

The next stop was in Estremoz. We walked up to the castle.

A restaurant in a former jail, and narrow streets.

Marble seems to be common building material ! The entrances were often slanted !

We enjoyed the view 🙂

There is not always something behind the facade…

One more look back, before we set off again …

… heading towards the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede:

For once we didn’t walk up to the Pico (= summit)…

Next stop was at Portagem. There is an old Roman bridge:

I liked the drawings for the fitness trail !

We spent the night at the Barragem de Póvoa.
