PULO DO LOBO
Read moreTo see the waterfall of the "jump of the wolf" (whose legend suggests that a ferocious beast or werewolf would be capable of jumping over this difference in altitude), at an altitude of about thirty metres, you should prefer the right bank path indicated on the Mértola-Beja road. It is a site where the majestic Guadiana river gets carried away as it becomes a torrent and flows through gorges. Two platforms with black ledges on different coasts allow the observation of a geomorphological accident caused by the collapse of the sea level in the Quaternary period.

CASA-MUSEU JOSÉ RÉGIO
Read moreThe museums of private collectors are the most surprising in Portugal. José Regio was a man marked, if not obsessed, by the Christ figure. The first room reveals this to us, surprising for its collection of Christ on the Cross. Collection is a weak word to talk about this accumulation of folk art sculptures from the 16th to the 18th century. Some of them have strange peculiarities, such as the Christ on the female hip or the sculpture with crucified hands, whose index fingers are the only ones stretched. The other parts are less interesting.

CASTELO DE ESTREMOZ
Read moreThe keep of Estremoz Castle houses the Santa Isabel Pousada, one of the most beautiful in Portugal. It was built in the 13th century by King Denis for his second wife Isabella of Aragon. After her death in 1336, the house was transformed into an ammunition depot. Unfortunately, the inevitable happened and, on 17 August 1698, an explosion destroyed most of the castle and its surroundings. It was restored by Joseph I in the 18th century. From the castle, you can admire an unobstructed view of the surrounding area.

Museu do azeite - Lagar de Varas do Fojo (Rua S. João de Deus +351 285 253 978. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Free entrance). An interesting museum that presents the old methods of olive oil production, before industrialization. Its manual olive oil press is in an excellent state of preservation. It was in operation until 1941. Photos on the walls show the process. It is a pity that the guided tours are only in Portuguese.
Museu do medronho (+351 266 637 044. www.museudomedronho.pt / [email protected]. Open from 10am to 7pm from Wednesday to Sunday. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Admission €2). In Portugal, when it's time to get out the booze, it's often a small glass of medronho that you're offered: a strong and fragrant brandy from the strawberry tree. At least in the south of the country, because it is in the hot and dry lands that this shrub acclimatizes best. The medronho museum exhibits the cultivation techniques of the arbutus, its life cycle, its economy and its ecological value. The establishment is an exhibition, a distillery, a store and a tasting stand. There is also liqueur and even gin from the strawberry tree! Here's to you..
