Empoleirada por cima da albufeira do Alqueva, Monsaraz benificia duma localização estratégica e de um potencial defensivo desde sempre reconhecido, como a passagem de romanos , visigodos e celtas o atestam.
Conquistada aos mouros , no reinado de D. Dinis e entregue a sua defesa aos Templários, é esta ordem militar que lhe acrescenta, no século 14, as muralhas e o castelo de onde, ainda hoje se pode olhar para a vizinha Espanha ou estender a vista através das grandes planícies Alentejanas.
Com suas ruas estreitas de paralelepípedos, que serpenteiam entre casas antigas de paredes brancas, oferece a quem por lá passa uma sensação, muito autentica, de um Portugal antigo e medieval.
Alentejo is often forgotten as an exceptional tourist destination and it is a pity that it is so, as its landscapes, people, culture, history and cuisine justify it being seen as a destination in itself, rather than just a transit area for those crossing it on their way to some beach holidays in Portugal’s southernmost Algarve.
Alentejo is set in the South of Portugal, between the Tagus River and the Algarve. The East borders Spain and the West is bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It is an extensive region, essentially rural and sparsely populated, which makes up about one third of Portugal. The coastal area has beautiful beaches and the interior hosts now the largest artificial lake in Europe (Alqueva) which brought a milder climate and beautiful landscapes along the lake’s shores. Its unique cuisine and excellent wines are other assets of this region.

ADÁGIO EM SOL MAIOR PARA VOZ E VIOLONCELO
A terra é vasta mas finita
É na alma que se guarda o universo
1.
A luz sem limites
Alentejo
A dor sem fim
2.
O rumor do silêncio
As noites brancas
A alma plena
3.
O sol a pique no restolho
As mãos coando o estio da tarde
O Alentejo refulge tanta luz!
4.
O sol
A solidão
O Alentejo
5.
O pão
A míngua
O cantochão
6.
Entre o trigo e as papoulas
A terra exangue
Recebe o suor dos teus dias
Bendiz o teu sangue
7.
Quantos filhos tem a dor?
Quantas dores há no lamento?
Quantas marés tem o mar?
Quantos dedos tem o vento?
A dor legitima a esperança
Mas são as mãos que desbravam o paraíso

Lots of fishes in the water and wildlife. Many fishes were jumping here and there.

The Alentejo is the center region of Portugal - with its strong colours its still unspoiled both inland and seashores. Here the real Portugal can still be found. I dedicate this photo to my friend/contact Rita Crane www.flickr.com/photos/44548980@N00/3217849579/ for her testimonial - dont miss her wonderful photos.
Have a great weekend all!
