Our tour will take us along the remarkable traces of successive cultures: dolmens and cromlechs, Roman and Arab vestiges mingling with the most recent signs of Christianity of which the numerous mediaeval castles are but one example. We will ride along vast wheat-fields and vineyards where the intense green and golden colours are the main characteristic of the plains in Alentejo. One of the most typical sights in this region is a vast field with some cork trees here and there and the herds (sometimes sheep, sometimes pigs or cows) usually enjoying the shade of the trees. The villages with their whitewashed one-floor houses are a picturesque landscape in Alentejo.

We will have the opportunity of visiting Évora, which is classified in UNESCO’s International Heritage list. The people here are very proud of their heritage and they preserve the ancient vestiges and also the ancient practices.

This is a region that has a very rich handicraft – pottery, embroideries, hand-painted furniture, wrought-iron works, etc. The local gastronomy is variegated and very tasty and perfectly matches the famous local wines.

This is a spectacular tour characterized by a moderate physical and technical difficulty which takes us to the most ancient vestiges of our History and Heritage.
