Almodôvar

The Main Church, the Convent of Nossa Senhora da Conceição and the streets of the center complete the break. From here, curves, heat and lower density of services suggest preparation before heading to the Algarve. The great crossing of the Portuguese interior, with around 739 km between Trás-os-Montes and the Algarve.
