At the agreed time, we'll meet up at the Casa de Estremoz Tourist Office to start an interesting guided tour of this Alentejo city.

We'll walk along Rossio Marquês de Pombal street while we admire its marble houses. Estremoz is known as one of the largest marble producers in the world.

Next, we'll reach the lake and fountain of Gadanha, exploring its historical significance for the army in the 18th century. We will also stop at the pillory, a site where death sentences were carried out during the reign of Manuel I.

Our next stop will be the medieval castle of Estremoz, where we will learn about the kings and nobles associated with it and view its impressive facade, especially the keep, a 27-meter high marble structure.

We will also visit the Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Socorro, a 17th-century monastery linked to the Order of the Discalced Augustinians.

After two and a half hours of exploration, we will conclude the tour back at the starting point.
