The well-known one as Golden Plain responds perfectly: the level ones are interminable and the sun, although it is in the autumnal decay, pervive in the sky to give to light alentejanas steppes where the grain of the cereal for months since it was harvested.
Upon Aljustrel it agrees to make a shutdown to know the treasures this city, that not only is famous by its pyrite mines. The churches of the Mercy, style Renaissance, and Greater, with their valuable tiling, are the “epicenter” of the old helmet of this villa that the Arabs baptized like Al-luster.

Although step can be raised step, is more comfortable to arrive until the viewpoint in car by the highway. There is no doubt. Little by little, according to we ascend, we see how appear under us the houses of the villa and the horizon is opened. In the end, the hermitage of the Virgin and the ruins of the Arab castle leave their silhouette on the alentejanos borders.
