Tips from the Community
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (Porto, 1919 – Lisbon, 2004) is one of the highest voices of the European twentieth century. The first woman to win the prestigious Camões Prize (1999), her poetry combines the light of the Mediterranean, classical myth, love for the sea, and a rigorous civil commitment against the dictatorship.

This tribute is a public art piece in corten steel titled "Voa", developed after a challenge launched by the municipality. The Concept: The sculpture cuts out the silhouettes, in positive and negative, of a flock of swallows in full flight. They appear united with each other, conveying a strong idea of freedom and ascent towards the sky. The Link to the Poetess: The piece was specifically designed to integrate a poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen focused on the values of freedom and justice, making the perfect counterpoint to the Court building located there. The choice of location and poem evokes Sophia's famous thought, so often cited in Ponte de Sor: "We see, we hear and we read, we cannot ignore".

When I arrived in Chancelaria, I had almost no water left and was very thirsty. I went back into the café ☕️ "O Palmeiro". I drank a peach Compal 🍑, which is a peach nectar juice 🍑. I asked for two bottles of cold water with ice 🧊, to put in the canisters. When I wanted to pay the bill, the café owner said he didn't want me to pay. He said that the fact of cycling in this heat entitled me to free cold drinks. He categorically refused for me to pay. It's the first time this has happened to me.

Far in the northeast of Alentejo lies Castelo de Vide, just a few kilometers from the border with Spain. The town is often called Cidade branca (white city), which is primarily due to the pretty whitewashed houses of the town. The highlight of the town (besides its great location in the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede) is the 14th-century Castelo de São Roque. From the castle, you have a fantastic view of the old town. Other sights in Castelo de Vide include the old Jewish quarter with the oldest synagogue in Portugal and the numerous churches and chapels of the town.
