History and Culture
Saviez-vous que le Portugal, avec son riche patrimoine naturel et culturel, abrite certaines des races de chevaux les plus fascinantes au monde ? Qu’ils soient sauvages ou domestiqués, ces chevaux incarnent la beauté brute, l’endurance et le lien profond avec les traditions portugaises. Parmi eux, les Garranos, les Lusitanos, et les Sorraias occupent une place particulière.
In Portugal, Christmas traditions are deeply shaped by the rural life of the past and by the Christian religion. Although each region has its own particularities, certain customs unite the Portuguese around this special time of year that celebrates family, faith and local traditions.
Alentejo, a vast region located in the south of Portugal, is a true gem that is still little known to the general public. With its rolling landscapes, picturesque villages, rich history and delicious gastronomy, Alentejo embodies Portuguese authenticity in all its splendor. This region, often described as the quiet heart of Portugal, seduces with its peaceful pace of life and unique cultural heritage.
If you are planning a visit to Portugal during the month of June, you will have the chance to participate in one of the most festive and colorful events in Europe : the Popular Saints Festival or "Festas dos Santos Populares". These are very lively celebrations, where people invade the streets to eat, drink and have fun in the popular neighbourhoods decorated with multi-colored arches and balloons and pots of aromatic-smelling basil.
