Starting on the EM1159, head west through the Alentejo villages of Fataca and Malavado, where the main source of income for the people is agriculture.

On this route, you will pass from the Alentejo landscape to a landscape reminiscent of the East: Bambuparque, a place where various species of bamboo are grown. Further on, you will pass Herdade da Casa Branca, where the famous SW Summer Music Festival is held.

Stork nests decorate the posts along the roadside, all along this straight path. You will be able to see these fantastic birds flying and feeding their young up close.
