Parque Natural

The park you can make beautiful walking and mountain biking tours, as well as along the rough coast of the southwest Alentejo as through the hills in this area. The landscape is without exception beautiful and very divers. The most wonderful beaches are reached by car in less than half an hour, there are plenty of nice small towns and villages and there are some markets in the area. The Algarve or an historical town like Evora can be visited as a daytrip. A short walk will take you through hill with grainfields to the traditional Alentejano village of Troviscais, where you can sip a bica, the Portuguese espresso, and watch the men of the village play a traditional game, which is a bit like jeu de boules.
A walk from a few kilometers to the other side leads through eucalyptusforest to the river Mira, one of the cleanest rivers of Europe, in which otters live and which is full of fish.
