Spring, in Alentejo, is an explosion of colors and aromas. The fields are transformed and the cold gives way to a land full of life before the summer heat arrives. We discovered an Alentejo full of mountains and mountains, traditions and culture.

From Portalegre, between the cork oak forests and chestnut groves of the S. Mamede mountain range, we pass through the Roman city of Ammaia and the beautiful ash trees tunnel in Aramenha to Marvão. Follow Castelo de Vide and the flatter part of the route, through the Povoa and Meadas reservoir, until we reach Nisa. In the last stage we will climb the S. Miguel mountain range to Portas de Rodão and the Tagus river. We finish in Vila Velha de Rodão with a "toast of honor".
