The Alentejo conveys the serenity of an old place where tranquility lives.
When walking in these plain lands we
understand that the landscape is what the view does not reach and is also where
life focuses under the shade of a sweltering Sun protector “chaparro” –
chaparro is how the local people call the young cork trees.
But who only knows the Alentejo cereal
grow plains does not know the diversity of this region that, like its country, excels
in diversity.
In this quest for knowledge of the
local culture borne the love for a land where men with powerful voice sing
together the "cante alentejano”, the traditional music sung by male choir.
