Archaeology - Southwest script
From 09:15 to 13:15
Among the steep-sided valleys and farmland along the Machada river, the walk is dedicated to Southwest writing. Along the way, we will visit one of the archaeological sites where these steles with Southwest writing have been found, the necropolis of Fonte Velha de Bensafrim. We will also learn more about when these steles appeared in the Iron Age, who they were and how the communities that used this writing inhabited, lived and died.
How to get there
By car: Arriving in the city of Lagos, at the Municipal Stadium roundabout, head towards Bensafrim. At Portelas exit, take the EM 531 on the left towards Barão de São João, passing through the Monte Judeu site. Go straight ahead towards Barão de S. João, and after entering the village of Barão de São João you should follow the signs that indicate the Mata Nacional. The Cultural Center is located just before the forest entrance on the left.
