In the middle of Alentejo, the district of Evora is subdivided into 14 municipalities: Alandroal, Arraiolos, Borba, Estremoz, Évora, Montemor-o-Novo, Mora, Mourão, Portel, Redondo, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Vendas Novas, Viana do Alentejo and Vila Viçosa, being the capital of the district (Évora) known as the "museum city" of Portugal, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Endowed with welcoming and charming Alentejo villages where white houses are enlivened with colorful cutouts, ancient monuments with no shortage of castles and walls that stand out from the rest of the landscape due to their grandeur and significance, Roman ruins and medieval houses reminding other times, wonderful palaces, beautiful churches, convents, fountains and squares inviting for a chat, make the district a region whose essence permeates whoever passes by.

The fantastic combination of rural and urban cannot be forgotten either, where the plenitude of golden fields, the grand dams and its fields of olive trees, form unique and serene landscapes of extraordinary beauty and authenticity.
