What to do · Monsaraz
In the former Paços de Audiência, on the main street, a medieval fresco survives that sets the just judge against the corrupt one. It is a short stop on the way to the castle, beside the main church and the pelourinho.

Round off the plan
What to order: the house roast lamb, and to start Alentejo cheese and Iberian pork paio.
What to order: one of the two menus with the house wine pairing, and book the cellar visit the same day.
Why we like it: Rural guesthouse at the foot of the Monsaraz hill, 2 km from the Alqueva Nautical Centre, with gardens, a pool from May to October and a breakfast of local produce.
Why we like it: A hotel on an Alentejo estate with a winery, at the foot of Monsaraz: rooms in the old farm houses, cottages, spa, pool and cooking with its own produce.
