Rua do Miradouro de S. Lázaro, Juromenha
Been here?
This is a quiet parking spot beside a cemetery, offering wide views over the Guadiana and Alqueva dam, plus memorable sunsets and sunrises. The ground is strongly sloped and mostly uneven, with only one relatively flat space and no shade. Access through the village is narrow and can be difficult for larger vehicles, although a 6m vehicle managed it. Public toilets are beyond the second picnic area.

This place is really only suitable for stopping to admire the views. There is no shade at all and it gets terribly hot in summer. It is also sloped. But the setting is beautiful.Translating
Beautiful, quiet place. The access was no problem for us in a 6 m vehicle.Translating
very peacefull and quiet. No services. We stayed one full day and night. a dead end street outside local cemetery with a great view over the river. The Olive trees on the way there are no longer a problem!
A beautiful place with a great view. Very steep slope, and access through the village is difficult with a larger vehicle. It was no problem with my T4. I would not spend the night here, out of respect for visitors to the cemetery. Now, for All Saints’ Day, all the graves are beautifully decorated.Translating
Cemetery parking area; we were almost always alone. Beautiful view over the river, and the castle is well worth visiting. However, the olive branches along the way are getting large and may scratch tall motorhomes—especially Capuchin models, which definitely cannot get through.Translating
The view is very beautiful, but we did not stay because it was too steep and sandy after it had rained. We preferred the large parking area lower down.Translating
Awesome spot, nice view and beautiful sunrise over the river. Only one flatish spot, the other parkingspots are quite uneven.
Great place with a wonderful view. The castle and village are worth a walk! However, the road to the parking area was a small adventure, though manageable.Translating
Of all the Alentejo I know, this is one of the most magnificent and iconic places. Because of the view and tranquillity. It is incredible to watch the sun rise here; a spectacular, quiet night without noise.Translating
It is very remote, but so wonderfully peaceful, and the view is incredible! It was really great and nobody was bothered. At 8 a.m., work was being carried out next door in the cemetery, which was not a problem for me. Definitely recommended!Translating
Very beautiful view and peaceful. More or less level for only one vehicle. For anyone who might try lower down: access to the beach is forbidden to cars. And be careful—do not try, as I did, to get closer to the river via the small path opposite the beach path; in mid-April 2024 it was overflowing! In the middle of the night I did not realise that the water was literally 5 cm from the path!Translating
