Located at an altitude of approximately 580–611 meters, it offers panoramic views of meadows, olive groves, farmhouses, and the Táliga Valley. It includes huts near the viewpoint and a geodetic vertex marking the highest point. Ideal time to visit: spring (March to May), to enjoy the blooming flowers and mild weather.

The oldest menhirs (standing stones) were erected in Portugal between 5000 and 4000 BC. The age of this menhir is unclear.

What's particularly interesting about the Xerez stone group is its square shape. The menhir is located in the center, surrounded by smaller stones. A concrete path leads from the Orada Monastery to it—is this really necessary? A regular path would certainly have sufficed. The entire area appears very neglected.

The Xerez Cromlech stands on open land, close to the Convent of Orada, and with a view of the walls of Monsaraz. It is the second "home" to prevent it from being submerged by the Alqueva dam. The 55 granite menhirs of the Xerez Cromlech have already been to other places because they were moved here, to the vicinity of the village of Telheiro, in 2004, to prevent submersion by the Alqueva dam. The cromlech was in front of Monte Xerez, close to a dolmen, about 5km from Monsaraz.

The Alqueva Dam, located in the heart of the Alentejo, is one of Europe’s largest dams. Constructed on the Guadiana River and completed in 2002, it creates the Alqueva Reservoir, Western Europe’s largest artificial lake. The dam plays a crucial role in regional irrigation, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, it supports local tourism and wildlife habitats and exemplifies a completely transformational engineering achievement.

The Mirador de la Sierra de Alor is a spectacular place to enjoy panoramic views of the Llanos de Olivenza region. The route to the viewpoint is ideal for hiking and offers several points of interest, such as old bandit huts and the characteristic flora of the area, including the Rose of Alexandria. From the viewpoint, you can admire impressive views of the mountains and the surrounding area, making it a popular destination for nature and photography lovers.😊

The menhir was classified as a Portuguese National Monument in 1971.
