The white washed houses of Monsaraz are small and all very similar. Although one can find some manor houses on the village, most of the houses are small and built side by side along the streets – with backyards on the other side.
It is very curious to notice the small windows and doors. The narrow windows are meant to protect the house from the weather: it can be freezing cold on winter and very hot on summer on this part of Portugal; smaller windows prevent that the cold and the heat from outside enter the house.
Monsaraz is administratively situated on the District of Évora, about 55km distant from this city and about 190km from Lisbon. This area of Portugal, composed by the Districts of Évora, Portalegre, Beja and Setúbal is known as Alentejo.
Monsaraz is near the Spanish border, being that River Guadiana and the Alqueva Dam “divide” both countries.
at the top of the castle walls there's one section of the castle where yu can walk and having those wonderfull views of the castle itself and alentejo/portugal and spain countryside views.
feel like yur at the top of the world.
breathtaking.
In Monsaraz there are several tourist shops which sell hand crafts. One of them, situated by the main entrance will let you see some ladies do some weaving on the machines. It is surely nice to observe the old traditions being kept alive.
Apart from weaving, the terracotta products (painted) are also very typical of this area of Portugal.
