This is the gateway to the Alentejo, through which people from the capital come when seeking adventures in the endless countryside to the south of the River Tagus. The horizon seems to stretch endlessly and the places where people have chosen to settle over the generations are largely the result of having access to roads and railways, essential for getting around in this part of the country. The urban space is well-thought-out and organised, connecting naturally and harmoniously with the surrounding farmland and forests.
