Megalithic Ruins of Alcalar

Highlight • Historical Site

The Alcalar necropolis is the most significant Neolithic site in the Algarve and a National Monument. It is located in the N. of Mexilhoeira Grande, in the municipality of Portimão. The massive cairn at the center of the complex, Monument 7, is the most impressive of the megalithic structures found there. The necropolis was part of a larger social and cultural development in the southern Iberian Peninsula that occurred around 3000 BC. It was during this period that fortified settlements were built that show evidence of copper metallurgy, the so-called Copper Age.

Stork Nests Between Portimão and Monchique

Highlight • Natural

On the road between Portimao and Monchique there is a high density of stork nests. Fortunately (for the birds and for us) you do not get very close - just fine.
