Almodôvar - Castro Verde

From Praceta do Poço de Beja square, we leave Almodôvar through the Antiga Estrada de Ourique (Old Ourique Road). Mountains in ruins and others in activity arise in an extensive, rural landscape without any shade points, where cereal fields coexist with olive groves, scattered holm oak and cork oak forests, pastures, and even vineyards. After 3.5 km, we arrive in Rosário, already in the municipality of Castro Verde. We cross the stream over a passageway in solid stone slabs and follow the olive grove to the rural road that will take us to one of the Castro Verde entrances. The stage ends in front of the Igreja das Chagas do Salvador (Church of the Savior’s Wounds), next to which the Tourism Office is located.
