Guide of the district of Beja (Alentejo)

Located in the south of the Alentejo region, the district of Beja is the largest in Portugal. Known for its calm and its green nature, it is a territory where the agricultural culture is deeply rooted. There are many crops and the countryside is omnipresent.

Hiking enthusiasts will be delighted by the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park: made up of plains, hills and valleys, it is home to a rich fauna and flora. You can walk on many paths and observe the birds that live there.

The city of Beja, capital of the district, is surrounded by the countryside. It is famous for its castle, which was used many times to defend the country's borders. Today it offers a breathtaking view of the green landscapes of the Alentejo thanks to its almost 40 meter high keep, the highest in the Iberian Peninsula.
