From the ancient castle walls to the historic town of Aljezur, and to the mountain of Monchique beyond.
This photograph was taken from the walls of the 10th Century Moorish castle of Aljezur in the Western Algarve. The castle, set high on the hill, has panoramic views across the rolling countyside, the historic town of Aljezur and to Monchique mountain beyond.
This post is inspired by the WordPress Weekly Photo challenge. This week’s theme is “Beyond”.

I had to limp back down that hill wearing only one flip flop when the other snapped on me just before we reached the top. Not one of my finer moments, but Aljezur won’t be easily forgotten. Nice photo, Pip.
Hi Jo, My, that was a long walk! Hope it was not midsummer
Aljezur is steeped in history and a pretty Portuguese town.
Lovely photo of ‘beyond’. Thank you PiP for explaining about the word also, ’cause you are the third ‘beyond’ I have ‘met’ this week, but the first to explain!!!!
that’s “beyond” belief! I bet you were wondering what we were all wittering on about!
The photos were too interesting and different to stop and wonder
!
Ooh, this is a new place to me. On the list for the next visit to Portugal!
Hi Chica, it’s a lovely little town. I love the beaches there especially Amoreira
Nice photo – looks like a lovely place to visit.
Hi 24/7 Shall we say to the SOF Aljezur is errr “rustic”
Beautiful! I will definitely have to go and visit. It seems very beautiful where you are.
Hi Didi, the Western Algarve is beautiful and totally unspoilt! WEll worth a visit especially if you like beaches
Will have to keep this on my must visit list.
Never been to Aljezur. Will have to get to know the Algarve better next time.
NExt time you are in Lisbon you drive down the WEst coast instead of the motorway. THere are some lovely towns and villages on the way
I quite like your idea of “beyond.”
