This is the tour for those who want to contemplate history and go back 8000 years in time. You are going to discover the famous Almendres cromeleques located 12 km from the city center of Évora. 

This set of 22 stone monoliths is considered the most important find in Portugal and Spain and one of the most emblematic in Europe, due to its high state of conservation. These are elements that can reach 3 meters in height. Imposing constructions and some of them registered with engravings, drawings and reliefs that hide secrets that you will unveil. 

Until you reach this place of worship, you will take a winding road lined with cork and olive trees from the village of Guadalupe. Whose name comes from the chapel of Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe. This is the place where thousands of years ago, human beings settled to dedicate themselves to agriculture in a fertile place with pleasant temperatures. 

You will also pass the Menhir de Almendres, a huge rock 4 meters high associated with fertility due to its phallic nature. Feel surrounded by the air of the countryside, surrounded by cork oaks and animal life. 

On the way back to the city center, you will also be able to visit Anta grande do Zambujeiro, considered one of the largest structures of this type.
