AlterdoChão
7.7
Lower score (below 6)
This is horse country — the Coudelaria Nacional (royal stud farm, founded 1748) is the main draw, and if you're not into Lusitano breeding, there's essentially nothing else here. The municipality has about 3,500 residents spread across a largely agricultural area, and the young women who grew up here mostly left for Portalegre, Lisbon, or abroad long ago. You'll be a curiosity as a foreigner and people will be hospitable in that quiet Alentejo way, but the idea of a social scene doesn't apply — the infrastructure for meeting people outside a village café or local fair doesn't exist.
