The Parish Church of Rio de Onor (Church of St. John the Baptist) is worth visiting not for its monumentality or gold, but for its authenticity and setting. It is the heart of one of the most unique villages in Portugal. Here are the reasons why this "stone church" is special: 1. Architecture in Harmony with the Village Unlike the whitewashed churches typical of the Alentejo region or the large granite cathedrals, this church blends perfectly with the landscape. Built of schist and local stone, it reflects the rustic architecture of the village itself. Its simple bell tower is a landmark in the landscape, visible from almost every point, but without breaking the visual harmony of the stone houses. 2. The Heart of a "Community Village" Rio de Onor is famous for being one of the last community villages in Portugal (where ovens, mills, and flocks were shared). The church is the spiritual symbol of this union. It's common to find the church decorated with fresh flowers picked by the inhabitants themselves, a sign of the affection and vibrant community that still resides there. The churchyard often serves as a meeting point for the locals, where you can hear the local dialect (Rionorês) spoken. 3. The Surrounding Scenery A visit to the church is not complete without looking around. It is situated in a position that allows privileged views of: The Roman Bridge (which is actually from the 19th century) over the Onor River. The green banks of the river, where you can cool off in the summer. The subtle division between the "upper village" (Spain) and the "lower village" (Portugal), as the village is crossed by the border. The church is often closed outside of worship hours, but the exterior beauty and peace of the place are worth the trip. If you're lucky enough to find one of the village ladies nearby, politely ask to see the inside—the simplicity is touching.

Personally, I don't like this area a lot. I have seen hares, rabbits, deer, wolves and it's always quiet. I always go alone and explore paths
