Beja: o coração palpitante do Alentejo
Poucas cidades portuguesas estão tão votadas ao ostracismo como Beja. Mesmo na vastidão alentejana, é Évora que surge como pólo aglutinador de cultura e de gentes, sem esquecer a crescente popularidade que as localidades da Costa Vicentina têm adquirido nos últimos anos.

Portugal’s Alentejo Region, located to the south and west of Lisbon, is known as the heart of the country and the breadbasket of Portugal. Not far from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Evora is the Gizo Estate, a new development that is being designed for those who love horses and all things equine.
