The Alegrete route
It starts next to a pleasant riverside leisure area in Alegrete and presents different themes. It runs through part of one of the most humanized natural parks in Portugal, with a landscape strongly influenced by human activities. Along the route, we will be able to observe maritime pine and eucalyptus, cork oak forests, olive groves, vineyards and vegetable gardens. The rockroses are also present, and in the distance you can see one of the highest points of the mountain, where Pico de São Mamede stands out. One of the coolest sections follows the banks of the Arronches river, which runs in the shade of alders, willows, sanguinhos and cherry trees. The points of interest remind us of long-abandoned agricultural practices, namely threshing floors, apiary walls, dams and levadas.
Lunch will be in the form of a picnic under the responsibility of each participant

The Castle of Alegrete
Just over ten kilometers from Portalegre, the castle of Alegrete is one of the most important fortresses in the Upper Alentejo region, having been, since the Middle Ages, a fundamental fortification in the defensive system regional. Its origins remain unclear. The traditional reading of its History points to an antiquity prior to the kingdom of Portugal, as it was conquered from the Muslims by D. Afonso Henriques. However, the first reliable news of its existence dates back to the 13th century, in particular the reign of D. Afonso III. In 1267, following the Badajoz Convention, the town was definitively integrated into Portuguese space, as it reflects its importance in the regional context.

Walking in the surroundings of Portalegre< br/>
This route takes us around Portalegre, along its highest points to the northeast, sometimes with panoramic views of the city, from where we can identify some of its most emblematic buildings, such as the Castle and the Sé Cathedral, sometimes through old walled alleys and narrow sidewalks, between countless properties and small towns. A very green route, with numerous stands of black oak, chestnut, cork oak and pine, which house other rich flora and fauna. The abundance of mosses and lichens covering walls and tree trunks indicates the freshness of the place, but also the quality of the air.
In its easternmost section we have views of the Serra de São Mamede. Near the end we went down the Meteorological Bulletin Road and passed by the Portalegre Meteorological Station building. Just below, an old military structure called Atalaião appears. We will also pass by Fonte dos Amores before the end.
