From Evora we will embark on a 25 minute drive to reach the path to the Menir of Almendres. We will then make the 5–10 minute walk down the picturesque path to visit this impressive solitary stone. Please note that the path to the Menir is in poor condition and those with reduced mobility may not be able to reach it. Next, we will continue driving amongst the cork trees through the Almendres property and make our way to the Cromlech of Almendres, often referred to as the Stonehenge of Portugal. The road to access the Cromlech is in poor shape and has been cut by the Municipality of Evora (they have also advised guests not to drive past this point), so we will park the van and walk ~25 minutes (1.25km or 0.77 miles) to reach the monument. At the site, we will continue our discussion of the Neolithic and provide an overview of the theories associated with the monument. You will learn about the history of this site from archaeologists specializing in the prehistory of this region.

After we have finished visiting the Almendres Cromlech, we will walk back to the van and slowly drive out of the Almendres complex. As we leave the property, we will make a stop at the gift shop (Centro Interpretativo dos Almendres) if it is open. You will have some free time to browse and explore. Our return journey to Évora will commence thereafter, with drop-offs scheduled between 12:00-13:00 (morning tour) & 17:00-18:00 (afternoon tour).
