    • Favorite Thing: No, these chickens weren't squashed, but they didn't have an awful lot of room. With all the rocks scattered about in Monsanto, the local villagers have had to be very creative in their use of space as there isn't much available.

    The villagers owning this hen coop have put up a bit of chicken wire and used the space under one of the ball shaped rocks to keep their chickens in. I guess being such a small village crime is not a problem, as these chickens were right on the side of a pedestrianised street.

    General Tips: Monsanto in Spring time

    • Favorite Thing: In Spring time, the trees in Monsanto have a lot of very colourful blossom on them. When you juxtapose this against the red roof tiles that every house in Monsanto has, you get some very beautiful images.

    As Monsanto is on a slope, you can keep climbing up, and get more and more views at different angles and heights, making it very easy to get just the picture you want, provided you are happy to put in a bit of foot work!

    For the best views however make sure you climb up to the castle.

     Thank you - we are going there next year. Very useful. We will stay in the Pousada!    		traveldave Tue Aug 1, 2006 23:12 UTC
     I didn't have a car when I was in Portugal, so unfortunately I didn't get to see any out-of-the-way towns like Monsanto. Looks like a fascinating place, but I would agree that it probably isn't the most Portuguese of cities.
