Come take a walk with your guide through the megalithic monuments of the Serra d'Ossa region. Your guide, who is a local archaeologist will love to tell you the stories and history of this uniquely beautiful region. Upgrade to finish the tour with a traditional farmhouse lunch.The farm you will visit is a paradise for walkers, ramblers and wine lovers. Imagine walking through rolling hills, cork forests, olive groves and vineyards in a landscape occasionally broken by a medieval fortress or an abandoned chapel. For six generations, the Mollet family has made a living on their 1,400 acre estate in the Alentejo by sustainably managing cork forests, rearing sheep and making fine wines. You're invited to join the gathering to share the joy of their lives and show you the beauty of the surrounding countryside.
Nature-lovers and birdwatchers will not be disappointed. With luck, you might see or come across an Egyptian mongoose, bustards, wild boars, hoopoes, bee-eaters, booted eagles and many more species.
On arrival you will be introduced to your guide who is a local archaeologist and conservationist. Start with a nice cup of tea/coffee or cool refreshment. You will be taken on a beautiful 5km walk through well preserved set of megalithic monuments of the Serra d'Ossa region. During your walk he will explain to you everything about the dolmens, how they grow and the symbology and myths behind them. You will then return to the farmhouse and visit the shop where you can find the finest products this farm has to offer (cork handicraft, biologic olives and olive oil, honey and, of course the wines). You will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional three-course meal in a quiet, family-run restaurant.
