Hiking

Monsaraz is one of the best-preserved historic towns in the Alentejo and an old Templar domain. The town still boasts a continuous, enclosed city wall and many preserved historic buildings. This beautiful medieval town is an absolute highlight on any tour of Portugal. The village's narrow streets and whitewashed houses will transport you on a journey back in time. The most important sights are the old castle, the Matriz Church, and the former Palace of Justice. As long as you arrive before the hordes of tourists arrive by bus, a stroll through the old streets is truly enjoyable.
