Julie O'Rourke's Road Trip Through Portugal Has Us Dreaming of Summer | Bon Appétit

"Along the way, we stayed in the most beautiful hotel: theSão Lourenço do Barrocal, which is in a former olive farming village. You can ride bikes and horses through the olive groves, and out your window you can see a medieval castle high up on a mountain: Monsaraz. People bike up to the top to tour the castle and wander the village’s cobblestone streets. Be sure to get an espresso and a little pastry atCasa Tial, a gourmet grocery store that also sells beautiful olive oils and sardines." - ByJulie O'Rourke
