The village is surrounded by walls and has a medieval castle. Its cobbled streets and white buildings create a charming atmosphere.

Alqueva



is one of the largest irrigation and water storage projects in Portugal, represented by Lake Alqueva, which was created by the construction of a dam on the River Guadiana. The lake is a popular spot for water activities and stargazing, as the area has been designated as a dark sky reserve.
