We currently have four established routes, one inside the castle walls, and the others in the scenic area surrounding the Castle of Evoramonte. The routes are relatively accessible, and through them we aim to show the beauty and rich heritage of the region.
Depending on the time of year and/or visitors’ interests, we highlight different aspects of our heritage. This is olive-growing country, and if for example, it is the time of year that olive harvesting takes place, we might focus on this – or some other activity related to cultivation of the olive groves – if visitors are interested. Alternatively, we might highlight the fascinating way that water has historically been supplied to those living within the castle walls.
We also enjoy sharing local wisdom, stories and interesting facts about the area with our visitors.
We can adapt the walks to combine aspects of different routes, so that visitors have the most enjoyable experience according to their interests. We will be strolling around what was historically one of the most important regions of the Central Alentejo, and which still stands out today for its beauty and the richness of the landscape, as well as its striking architecture and vibrant cultural scene.
