The old station

Alentejo

The old station of Nossa Senhora de Machede – Our Lady of Machede – is part of the defunct “ramal de Reguengos” an old line with 40km connecting Évora and the town of Reguengos de Monsaraz. Now it is a cycling and walking path and a great way to explore this part of Alentejo.
