Moura, on the left bank of the Guadiana river, on the south eastern edge of the Alentejo, amidst olive groves and wheat fields, is one of those towns that you could so easily miss. Well, don't! Taking its name from a legend from the C13th century takeover, it is still virtually undiscovered and unspoilt. Its charm lies in its pretty, flower filled cobbled streets, its ageing castle, exquisite little Moorish quarter, simple thermal spa, well cared for museums and for its very moving Jardim de Oliveiras, a reflective space, dedicated to the Spanish poet, Miguel Hernandez, who was murdered by Franco's troops aged thirty one. With several family run restaurants, serving delicious regional food, nicely old fashioned bars and cafes and shops, the C16th Igreja de Sao Bautista with its remarkable Manueline portal and fine C17th Sevillian tiles and its delightful Jardim de Santiago with is bandstand and good views, you will not want to leave! Though not far away is the dramatic, Alqueva reservoir, the largest in Europe, which offers fluvial beaches, easy walking, boat excursions, fishing, canoeing and other water sports. And the interesting towns and cities - Serpa (famous for its cheese), Mertola (an open air museum), Beja (second cousin to Evora), Mourao and Monsaraz (medieval castles) and Reguengos de Monsaraz (capital of wine), all make pleasant exploration.
