Santa Cruz - Almôdovar

Few farms and hills of stone and mud, some in complete ruin, attest to the dispersed human occupation, especially for agricultural support of the owners and workers living in Almodôvar and other surrounding villages. In the “Dadorde” area we discovered that it was after all the place of the Quinta “Da Ordem” (of Santiago), now partially recovered for leisure accommodation. The Path leads to road 267 and is signposted to follow on the left, entering the village by the new bridge over the Ribeira de Cobres and following until the Igreja Matriz de Almodôvar (Main Church).
