In this adventure, we introduce you to Aljezur, the last stronghold to be conquered by the Portuguese Christians from the Moors and which retains in its essence many of the clues and secrets of what society was like at that time.

The presence of the Moors in the territory that is nowadays Portugal lasted for about 500 years. Nonetheless, the Portuguese tend to forget the Arab heritage that is so deep rooted in who they are as a country. Aljezur was the last stronghold to be conquered by the Portuguese Christians to the Moors and keeps in its essence many of the leads and secrets of what would be the society of that era.

During this Tour we will visit the local Market and reveal the agricultural, gastronomical and cultural legacy that the Moors left. We will understand the importance of Al-Jazeera as an important commercial port during the 10th and 11th centuries.

We will navigate the old Medina streets and visit key-places of this little gem on the Costa Vicentina, which will culminate at the Arab origin Castle at the peak of the mount. We will then finish the morning with a lunch full of gastronomical elements that will transport us to the kingdom of Al-Gharb, in an unforgettable trade of flavours and experiences.
