Monsanto - Portugal. La piedra hecha historia - Tajo Internacional
En esta ocasión Viajando por el TAJO Internacional visitamos MONSANTO y su castillo templario de es uno de los pueblos con mas historia de la zona portuguesa de parque natural Tajo Internacional. Es considerado por medio de una consulta popular, como el pueblo mas portugués de Portugal desde los años 30 del siglo pasado.
Situado el el alto de un monte donde predomina grandes piedras de granito que han sabido integrarlas en la arquitectura de todo tipo de edificaciones militares, religiosas y casas. Las calles son angostas, siendo casi imposible circular por ellas con el automóvil, teniendo que dejarlo en la entrada de MONSANTO, donde podemos ver los cañones del siglo XIIV empleados las distintas guerras contra los franceses y españoles.
Ha sido un placer transitar por las diferentes vías de acceso al castillo. La vía de Penedos Juntos rodea la montaña, donde podemos ver los restos de la antigua muralla del antiguo asentamiento, además de la iglesia y campanario de San Miguel. El castillo templario está un tanto deteriorado pero ofrece toda su esencia y desde donde tenemos unas buenas vistas del entorno.
La zona alta de MONSANTO es donde encontramos las casas y cuevas que aprovechan las grandes masas de granito o canchos como lo llamamos por la zona.

Portugal ???????? - Sintra & Lisbon
Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with an estimated population of 505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2. Lisbon's urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 3 million people live in the Lisbon metropolitan area, including the Portuguese Riviera (which represents approximately 27% of the country's population). It is mainland Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus. The westernmost portions of its metro area form the westernmost point of Continental Europe, which is known as Cabo da Roca, located in the Sintra Mountains.
Lisbon is recognised as an alpha-level global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. Lisbon is one of two Portuguese cities (alongside Porto) to be recognised as a global city. It is one of the major economic centres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe's Atlantic coast. Additionally, Humberto Delgado Airport served 29 million passengers in 2018, being the busiest airport in Portugal, the 3rd busiest in the Iberian Peninsula and the 20th busiest in Europe. The motorway network and the high-speed rail system of Alfa Pendular links the main cities of Portugal (such as Braga, Porto and Coimbra) to Lisbon. The city is the 9th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, Milan, Venice, Madrid, Florence and Athens, with 3,320,300 tourists in 2017. The Lisbon region has a higher GDP PPP per capita than any other region in Portugal. Its GDP amounts to US$96.3 billion and thus $32,434 per capita. The city occupies the 40th place of highest gross earnings in the world. Most of the headquarters of multinational corporations in Portugal are located in the Lisbon area. It is also the political centre of the country, as its seat of government and residence of the head of state.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens), predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris, and Rome by centuries. Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by the Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city and since then it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Portugal.

Portas de Rodão Flight - Vila Velha de Rodão
The geological formation of Portas do Ródão (Doors of Ródão) is a place blessed by nature, one of the most beautiful in Portugal, and is also linked to an ancient legend.
This astonishing landscape is formed by the intersection of the Talhadas mountains with the course of the Tagus river, where the huge rocks seem to be willing to keep the waters of this big river, thus forming the Doors of the Vila Velha do Ródão village.
From this natural marvellous viewpoint, one has a breathtaking landscape. The area houses several bird species quite rare and in danger of extinction, like the Eurasian Eagle Owl, the red Kite or the Black Stork, housing as well the greatest Griffin colony in the Country. Other wild animals can also be observed in the area, such as Boars, Foxes, Deers, Hares or Otters, among many others.
King Wamba's Legend
It is said that in this region lived Wamba, the last Visigoth king in Hispania (Iberian Peninsula) that reigned from 672 to 680, and fought the Moors.
One day, Wamba's wife fell in love with the Moorish king that decided to abduct her from Wamba's power. For that he tried to built a tunnel that would go underneath the river Tagus. However, he misjudged the calculations. As Wamba discovered the Moorish king plans, and realizing the love his wife felt for the other King, he decided to offer her as a present, yet tied to a millstone, which made her roll down the slopes right until the Tagus river. On the places where the millstone passed through, no vegetation grew up again, as it is still visible nowadays.

J. Portugal Ramos (English version)
Born into a family with a long history of wine production, João Portugal Ramos was awarded a degree in agronomy by the Institute of Agronomy in Lisbon . After a period of training at the National Viniculture Studies Centre in Dois Portos, in 1980 he embarked on a career as oenologist in the Alentejo region.
Benefiting from the gained knowledge, João Portugal Ramos established Consulvinus at the end of the 80's with the aim of attending to the various requests from several producers all over the country. In this way, from 1989 onwards Consulvinus extended its activity beyond the Alentejo region to Ribatejo, Península de Setúbal, Dão, Beiras, Estremadura and Douro. It also participated in the development of distinguished Portuguese wines and revitalized regions that were sinking to oblivion by wine-lovers and consumers.
The successes achieved and prizes won by these wines throughout his career have brought him national and international acclaim as one of the main figures responsible for the development of Portuguese wines during the last ten years.
In 1990 João Portugal Ramos started his personal project by planting the first 5 hectares of vineyards in Estremoz, where he lives since 1988.
A consequence of the rules regarding investments in vineyards was the problem of transforming grapes. In a region with high potential for producing quality wines as Borba, he decided to present a project with the aim of transforming his own grapes, as well as grapes originating from rented vineyards and grapes bought in the scope of long-term agreements.
In these agreements, the technical management of vineyards, from planting to phytosanitary treatments and choosing the date of harvest, is under the responsibility of the viticultural department.
The first harvest dates from 1992 and in the following years the wine was produced in rented buildings. In 1997 vinification took place in the new estate for the first time.
The construction of the winery in Estremoz, on Monte da Caldeira, began in 1997. The winery was enlarged in 2000, and nowadays comprises 9.000 square meters (vineyards not included), having a modern vinification technology, a bottling area and cellars with approximately 2000 French, American and Portuguese oak barrels used for ageing the wines. At the winery on Monte da Caldeira the modern is harmoniously combined with the best Portuguese wine-growing tradition, and part of the grapes for more sophisticated wines are still foot trodden.
This was the location chosen by João Portugal Ramos to make his own wines after a long career as consultant oenologist in wine creation in the main wine-growing regions of Portugal.

Alcochete
This video is about Alcochete.
Alcochete was founded by the Moors and called Alcaxete, meaning ovens, which is thought to be due to the large ovens for baking clay that existed here. Alcochete was captured by Dom Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal, in the 12th century.
In the 15th century, this region, with an abundance of species such as deer, wild boar and wolves, was much frequented by the nobility, who used to organise big hunting parties, staying here for long periods in their summer residences.
The salt-works are the area's major natural resource, and Alcochete was for a long time considered to be the most important centre of salt production in the country. Even today this activity is fundamental to the local economy.
As in almost the whole of the Ribatejo, Alcochete breeds horses and bulls, and the inhabitants enjoy the festa brava ( festival of daring), which reaches its high point in the Festas do Barrete Verde e das Salinas (Festivals of the Green Cap and the Salt-Works), that take place every year in the second week of August, when the running of bulls and bullfights are the most characteristic spectacles.
Nearby is the Tagus Estuary Nature Reserve, where one can see the various birds that pass through here on their migrations, among which the flocks of flamingoes are particularly striking.
