About this place
Sao Bras de Alportel is a village located just above the highway. The village has few special buildings that you can visit, but it does have a number of cool sights such as the 'Traditional Costume Museum' and the 'Cork Factory'.
There is also a flea/antique market once a month where you always come across special items. Click here for a market overview . Once a year there is a big flower festival where all the streets of Sao Bras are decorated with flowers. Click here for an overview of festivals .
From Sao Bras you can follow the 'Rua de Cortico', or the cork oak route. A beautiful route along, you guessed it, all cork oaks. Cork is an important export product of Portugal.
