The well-being of Alentejo

For you, there is a huge diversity of typical delicacies: homemade sausages, Migas and Açordas (typical dishes based in bread, garlic, coriander and other local spices), Sopa de Cação (rich fish soup), Carne de Alguidar (pork typical dishes), Cozido de Grão (typical chickpea, vegetables and meats stew) ... There are fresh and alive wines. And smooth and intense wines. There are typical cheeses and desserts. There are stories, proverbs and traditions. There are songs and accordions.

Here, in a "happy chic" ambience, there is a reinvented Alentejo awaiting for you.

The lake of Maranhão Dam is beautiful, vast and very peaceful. The margins may be flat cultivation areas, intense forests or rocky cliffs.

On the air there are eagles, herons, and cormorants. On the water, we can see small fishes jumping. We love all this.

Maranhão is here and it's for us!
