With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Moura, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Alqueva Dam, Jardim Doutor Santiago and Lagar de Varas do Fojo. Locals will also probably point you toward Serpa, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Praca da Republica. (But we’d also recommend Serpa Castle and Serpa Aqueduct.)
