This small town, once part of Portugal, is located just a few kilometers from Alconchel. Its population has been declining since the 1950s and now has fewer than 700 inhabitants.

Early settlements are discussed here, but may be as old as the Neolithic period. In the 60s, many of its inhabitants moved, considerably reducing the population, but now the town tries to take advantage of its proximity to the Alqueva reservoir to attract tourists.

In a spectacular setting, we come across this Franciscan convent, almost 400 years old (15th century). It is in a state of ruin. Next to it, we can see the aqueduct (18th century), which served to supply water to the building. A place to visit, preferably in spring or autumn.

Hidden between roads and extensive Extremaduran meadows, we find the beautiful Bogaña bridge that allows us to cross the Alcarrache river.

Beautiful panoramic view of the Albufera de Alqueva while we ride along dirt roads between typical and picturesque Extremaduran meadows.

Alconchel Castle or also called Miraflores, is a destination that is worth adding to our route, getting to know the interior and enjoying the views it offers us. (2€ entry)

We are on a beautiful river beach from which you can see Portugal, which has a blue flag for the quality of its waters and services.
