Whether you come north from Faro or south frm Lisbon you will approach Ourique from the IC1.

At the top of the slip road turn left (away from Ourique town).
At the roundabout continue straight ahead. (Pingo Doce supermarket will be on your left)
After approx 6 km, look for the 50 km marker stone on the left side of the road, plus a bus stop..
Turn left up the track and Vale da Cegonha will be on your right, after approx. 800 m.
We have ample parking on site, for guests.

Getting around
The lower Alentejo is spectacular and large. The roads are relatively traffic free so getting around by car is easy. Alternatively you could take a day trip to Lisbon, by train. Funcheira station is only 10 minutes away. Closer to home, Ourique has an excellent and inexpensive taxi service. So if you're planning to visit one of the nearby restaurants, no-one has to drive.
