The 8,000 year old, Cromeleque dos Almendres near Guadelupe (Évora, Alentejo) dates from the new Stone Age and Bronze Age. The double stone circle is made up of 95 egg-shaped megaliths and is located on top of a hill. There is a rolling landscape with cork oaks all around; the view is beautiful. The standing stones of the Almendres Cromlech are regarded as the finest example of Neolithic structures that remain on the Iberian Peninsula. Thankfully, the local government has not cordoned or fenced off the stones and visitors are free to wander around the entire site and even touch the stones. This relaxed approach extends to the management of the site, there is no entrance fee and the stones are open to visit at any time. You need a car to reach the stones from the visitors centre over a unpaved track of 4 km, walking is not advised because you share the track with cars. The atmosphere is peaceful and you experience a magical sentiment when think this was build 6.000 B.C.

It wasn't easy to find it. I followed google maps as much as possible to the road leading to Praia dos Pilotos (and the road is closed in summer right there), then asked a local kiosk who led me to the top of the stairs. Mind you, the decent on stairs takes 10-15 minutes (and you have to go back up), and the path is narrow with long bushes at times. But you literally descend to sea level, and the entrance to the cave is amazing. The church is speechless, especially with the sound of breaking waves right next to you. It's dark, and may be spooky for small children, but magnificent to visit. It's quite a shame that it's polluted with graffiti.
