Better go this way if it's raining or it has rained recently, you can go back to the Caminho just after a few Kms, avoiding a lot of mud.

Cheap and good, a nice and friendly place to stop after a long way up!

Just before entering the town of Sobral do Monte Agraço

publication of the royal charter of 26 July 1811, which, in order to mitigate the devastating effects of the French invasions, prescribed, among many other measures, the distribution of seeds to farmers in order to re-establish cereal production. The Real Celeiro was active for over sixty years, between 1812 and 1873, but, quoting Guilherme Henriques, “it died, like all good institutions, annihilated by abuses”. The City Council now holds the archive of the old Celeiro, which, although not very voluminous, nevertheless allows us to reconstruct almost the entire history of this important local institution of the 19th century. Commissioned to be rebuilt by the Municipality of Alenquer in 2002, it opened its doors as the Wine Museum and headquarters of the Lisbon Wine Route in 2006. Its interior was remodeled and its museology project renewed at the end of 2018, and it reopened its doors to visitors in February 2019. (Source: www.alenquer.pt)

Operating since April 2006 in a 19th-century building, the Wine Museum exhibits, offers tastings and allows the purchase of the best wines from the region. Around 20 producers from the Lisbon Wine Routes Association are represented.

Museum established in 2006 and remodeled in 2018, where the stories of 40 wine producers from the municipality of Alenquer are represented. Occupying the space of the old public barn where the seeds of the region's farmers were stored, the institution seeks to provide visitors with an excellent experience in paying homage to wine.

Located next to the Constantino Palha Municipal Garden, a bronze sculpture was installed next to the pier, in the riverside area of Vila Franca de Xira, in honor of the jorna workers. The work of the sculptor João Duarte was inaugurated in July 2013. This sculpture saves the memory of the men and women who gathered on the pier looking for work (la jorna which means a day of work). The farmers or their foremen arrived by boat and hired a good part of the labor for the fields of Lezíria or for the factories of the municipality.
