The Upper Alentejo is a border region where nature, history and tranquillity meet. Dominated by the São Mamede mountain, the region has a surprising landscape, a cooler climate and a remarkable diversity of scenery, ranging from Mediterranean forests and fertile valleys to open plains.
Rich in biodiversity, with rivers, reservoirs and well-preserved habitats, the Upper Alentejo is a privileged destination for those seeking nature tourism, bird watching and authentic contact with the rural world. Castles, walls and historic cities such as Elvas, Marvão and Castelo de Vide tell centuries of history in a setting of great beauty.
A peaceful, authentic and inspiring place, ideal for slowing down, exploring and rediscovering your connection with nature.
Located in the foothills of the São Mamede mountain, Castelo de Vide is protected to the west by the quartzite barrier of the São Paulo ridge. In a transition between plain and mountain, it has given rise to multiple habitats (olive groves, oak groves, pine forests and chestnut groves) that favour the occurrence of a great diversity of birds, with forest, agricultural and rock-dwelling habits. To the north is the Póvoa and Meadas Dam reservoir, where we can find species with aquatic habits.

Most emblematic species:
Located south of the São Mamede mountain, Campo Maior region is characterised by agricultural landscapes dominated by olive groves, pastures and cereal fields. There are also pockets of holm oak forests. The final stretch of the River Xévora is also worth mentioning.

Elvas is located near the mouth of the River Caia, where it joins the Guadiana, in a landscape that combines agricultural, urban and wetland areas, favouring a diverse birdlife. To the west of Elvas, the area of Vila Fernando is worth a visit. Here, the habitat is conducive to the occurrence of steppe birds, such as the Great Bustard and the Roller (both currently quite rare).
