Centro de Ciencia do Cafe

Reviewed By 485billr - Edmonton, Canada

A great diversity of learning approaches taken to keep the visitor interest up. My wife and I loved the smuggling coffee game and our barista one-on one knowledge booster session. The whole place is sprinkled with fun facts and the treatment of human coffee culture is especially fun.

Adega Mayor

>, Rui Nabeiro had a dream and the work was born. Based on the know-how of a vast team, Comendador Rui Nabeiro made real and exceeded his dream. And therefore, Campo Maior, a land that only provides for those who love it, once again reveals all its splendour. Evidencing this is a legendary tradition, a unique winery and a taste that comes from the age of times. Campo Maior, formerly a wine production village, once again allows for the vine roots to drink its essence and grow the best grapes. Form and flavours come later, when the grapes receive all the care and attention that only experience and knowledge from a well-prepared and qualified team can provide. The Winery In the beautiful and untouched landscape of the Alentejo plain in Campo Maior, Siza Vieira erected an original building, a horizontal construction, painted in white and divided in two floors longwise, with a third floor intended for tourism and promotion of the Adega Mayor wines. The calmness arising from this simple construction contrasts with the complexity housed within, where monumental areas intended for production and storage go hand in hand with the social areas, designed for tasting and enjoying the wine. The 40*120 m rectangle of the winery is founded on the existing cavity and 9m walls stand tall from there. Access to the building is located at the southwest end. The architect Siza Vieira reserved the upper floor for the social and public aspect of wine. There, a tasting room was created, opening into a panoramic terrace with a lawn and a lake, headed by a sculpted marble panel, also designed by the architect, where the silhouettes of a coffee cup, a glass of wine and a bottle overlap. This panoramic terrace provides a view over the estate's vineyard and the olive grove, extending further to Spain and the Serra de Portalegre. Enotourism Come experience a larger and see firsthand how we design the wines from Adega Mayor. We have a wide offer of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, evidence of orientation, experiences vintage, team building activities, balloon flights, boat trips on the Caia Dam. These are some of the experiences that we provide. We will be happy to design a unique and personalized experience, if so desired.

This was the aim of our trip in the Alentejo this time and we were really compensated by this architecture. The guided tour and wine tasting was just perfect and well balanced. Congratulations

Ponte Romana de Vila Formosa

Reviewed By martyncymro - Coimbra, Portugal

The bridge is well preserved and is 117 metres long and has a stone slab surface. It was built in the 1st century C.E. and was part of the road connecting the cities of Merida, in Spain, and Lisbon. It is in a very good state of repair and until recent years was open to vehicle traffic. It is possible and perfectly safe to walk across it. There is a small car park and picnic area on your right about 100 metres before the bridge.
