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

I was expecting something good, but it was unexpectedly superb! Amazing views from all the Alentejo Valle, a cozy historical village and a surprisingly well preserved castle in between. Not to mention the delicious traditional Portuguese food and drink and their unmatched hospitality. Definitely coming back for more.

Lovely old castle well worth the visit. Kept in it's original form so narrow steps and walkways. Not covered in safety barriers so you explore at your own risk. Beautiful village too with little cafes and gift shops.

Visited end of May, still very quiet. The church and the chapel (opposite the church) are beautiful. Great views of the Alentejo and the Alqueva reservoir.

What a beautiful and amazing spot. Loved the sunset, walking around the wall and inside city, bull ring, and the views all around.

The views from the castle are amazing. We were wondering whether or not to stop but glad we did as we spent the whole day there instead. We'll worth a visit.

amazing place on this planet. just point your camera and click. you have a postcard. then just roam arround the old paved streets and enjoy the intricate architectural weaving of the tinny dwellings inside those imense stone medieval citadel walls... i did not check but i imagined that the name of Monzaraz is coming from the Mound of the Sarasin... a lonely arab knight on his horse with the banner fluttering on the tip of his lance just enjoing the unspeakable vista of the Alqueva lake and saying to himself: i want to be burried here in this forein land. please do enter the wine shop of Herdade De Ceuta. lovely lady gave us a lot of info about the local wines and drinking habbits of portugese of Alentejo region. one of a kind wine that you cannot find in stores. love portugal country side.
