Evora to Pousada Castelo Alcacer do Sal

We headed out of town on our bicycles, ten ebikes, two regular bikes, and one tandem, plus the leaders were on regular bikes. A 43.9 mile ride through rural Portuguese country lanes with cattle with bells and cork trees and a mutitude of different species of wildflowers - including a red flowered wild pea. Saw the first of many stork condominiums (multiple nests in a single tree). Pedaled to the top of the hill overlooking the river Salado to our Pousada for the night, the Pousada Castelo Alcacer do Sal. The next morning we received a tour of the archaeological digs under the Pousada which had recovered evidence of humans more than two thousand years ago along with numerous artifacts from thousands of years of occupation.Læs mere
