                <description><![CDATA[In the Alto Alentejo region of Portugal you will see scattered over the beautiful countryside these very large megalithic stones. You can discover over 50 here including dolmens and menhirs. One that stands out is the Menhir a Meada near the village of Póvoa. It is over seven meters tall and 1.25 meters diameter, the tallest in the Iberian Peninsular. Nearby is the Coureleiros Megalithic Park, Castelo de Vide, a collection of various dolmens. Also near to the villages of Barretos and Beira there are more including the Anta da Granja.<br>These large stone structures are over 3,000 years old and it is still a mystery how these ancient civilizations managed to place them there.<br>Take a walk, go see and touch these magnificent stones and wonder how on earth did our ancestors cut and manage to move them.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A small medieval hill town in the North Alentejo region of Portugal, a delightful place for a holiday with its 14th century castle, Gothic doorways, small white houses and cobbled streets. A place where you can step back in time from the era of the Romans and Visigoths to the Moors and Christian crusaders.<br>Don't forget to visit the 13th Century synagogue and covered fountain in the famous Jewish quarter.<br>One of our favourite places in Portugal.<br>The surrounding countryside with the mountain range of the "Serra de São Mamede" with its abundance of flora and fauna is a great excuse to get out the walking boots.]]></description>
