São Domingos Mine:
The mining area of Sao Domingos, part of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, was from ancient times a sought after place for the extraction of minerals and there is evidence of gold, silver and copper mining works since the pre-Roman and Roman period.
Its modern operation began in 1854, at the initiative of the “Mason & Barry” mining company, which continued to operate it until 1966, with around 108 years of regular operation extracting more than 20 million tons of ore (copper, zinc, lead and sulfur). Mina de S. Domingos was the largest Portuguese mining area until the 1930s, with a continuously labour force of over a thousand workers. The mine provided a local development level much higher than the one experienced in the rest of the country. Here it was built, for example, one of the first railways to make the connection between the mine and the old river port in Pomarão. Also here it was built the first power plant in Alentejo. The local community also had accesses to a local hospital and movie theatre among other facilities.
The end of the mining exploitation – combined with the absence of an adequate rehabilitation, abandonment and subsequent vandalism of the remaining heritage – dictated the progressive decay of the territory and the population exodus. Nowadays, the development strategy is focused on the search for resolutions to the environmental problems and to the protection and valuation of the mining heritage.
On the 3rd of June 2013 the mine and urban area of Mina de S. Domingos was classified by the Portuguese authorities as a “Set of Public Interest” and currently this urban area and also the old industrial complex are part of a tour circuit that evokes the history and the living memory of the mine.
Beach:
The fluvial beach of Tapada Grande is located in the interior of the Alentejo, in Mina de São Domingos, municipality of Mértola.
It is a blue flag beach and swimmer, located in a wonderful place and with all the conditions for adults and children to have a good time.

Serpa Alentejo Portugal HD
Serpa is located in the Lower Alentejo, on an elevation in the left bank of the river Guadiana and is home to one of the largest municipalities in the country.
Town inhabited since ancient times, Serpa had a great Roman and Arab influence. It was conquered to the Moors by D. Afonso Henriques in 1166 and was lost several times during the struggles of the Reconquest. It was definitively constituted like county in 1295 by D. Dinis that had surrounded Serpa by a waist of walls.
Its geographical location near the border has always made Serpa a strategic point of national defense evident during the Restoration War when Serpa was almost completely destroyed.
For its long history, Serpa has several places of interest to visit!

Mourão Alentejo Portugal HD
Mourão is a beautiful village in the Alentejo, on the left bank of the immense Guadiana River, near the border with Spain, in a place of great natural beauty.
Without major historical references until the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, it is known that after passing to the Portuguese domain, it was handed over to the Order of Hospitallers, and during the Middle Ages and in the Restoration War it was the scene of violent episodes between Portuguese and the Castillian forces.
Mourão has always been influenced by the great Guadiana River, which has also contributed to the fertility of the surrounding lands where olive, almond and other fruit trees shape the landscape.
Mourão is proud of its monuments and traditions, like the Castle above the village and the Baroque Mother Church of Our Lady of the Candeias (17th and 18th centuries).
This typical Alentejo village excels by its regional products, such as handicrafts, with pieces in shale, basketry or in the very traditional Buínho.
The various restaurants in the region attest to the quality of Alentejo gastronomy, with local specialties such as Caldeirada de Peixe, Açorda de Cação or conventual sweets with soggy or rancid cake, not forgetting the bread, cheese, honey and olives from this tasty region.
