    Seixo Alentejo. The Romans left more than a few footprints here, and there are historic towns and castles around almost every corner. Alentejo is one of the country´s best-kept secrets. Alentejo, literally "beyond the Tejo" (River Tagus), has a distinctive character and beauty unlike that of any other Portuguese province. Its vast plains, coloured burnt ochre in summer, are freckled with cork oaks and olive trees which provide the only shade for the small flocks of sheep and herds of black pigs. Nicknamed "terra do pâo" (land of bread) because of field upon field of wheat and oats, Alentejo supports acres of grapevines, tomatoes, sunflowers and other plantations.
    Leaving Monsaraz direction Telheiro, passing GNR, following M514. Left direction Barrada Motrinos, right after 5,9 km direction Alandroal passing through Seixo. Driving through Seixo direction Terena / Alandroal N255. In Terena you have to visit the Castle,

    Military Orders. The crusades produced an unusual kind of soldier - that is, those belonging to the military orders created by St. Bernard of Clairvaux in 1128. The Knights Templar was the first such order, based in Jetusalem, which had been captured during the First Crusade (1096-1099). They were followed by the Knights of St. John (the Hospitallers), established in Rhodes, and by the Teutonic Order and the Spanish Knights of Calatrava. Originally, their role was to fight for the true faith while obeying monastic rules of poverty, chastity and obedience. Soon, however, the spoils of war became more important for many of the Knights than the spread of Christianity

    Caminho de Santiago Wintersport in Alentejo?Climate
    It is not uncommon for summer temperatures in the Alentejo to break the 40° Celsius barrier; lack of wind can make the heat stifling. The Beja-region in particular regularly tops the temperature charts of Portuguese weather forecast.
    Spring and Autumn are more pleasant for walking, cycling and Pilgrimming, with average daytime temperatures around 20-25 °C.
    The eastern Alentejo has a semi-Continental climate, with for Portuguese standards cold winters, in January an average of 8 °C, and often dry and crisp air. So pick your choice and select a period of the year to walk or cycle "O Caminho do Este de Portugal desde Tavira" a Historical Pilgrimage through eastern Portugal, partly following Guadiana River since the 14th Century until now. Iter Stellarum,
    A Grande Obra dos Caminhos de Santiago. Bom Caminho.
