Ourique
Ourique has benefited from a privileged location over the centuries. Confined to the north with the municipality of Aljustrel and to the south with Silves, it establishes a connection with the Sado valley and the Serra de Monchique. The Battle of Ourique, on July 25, 1139, was a defining moment in the history of Portugal, and is still celebrated in the municipality today. Agriculture and livestock continue to play an important role in the economy of this municipality. Tourism is, however, increasingly important And if you like to eat, in this region you will find the traditional Alentejo-style lamb stew, goat in a "púcara", Alentejo-style pork, among other regional products, such as goat cheese and curd cheese.
