Estremoz and Evoramonte
Estremoz is known as the "white city" of Alentejo, in part due to its white houses scattered down the hill, but also for its white marble quarries, with such an old and respected exploration, so much so that this region contributes 90% to the fact that Portugal is the world´s second largest exporter of marble. Evoramonte, or Santa Maria, is a beautiful town belonging to the municipality of Estremoz, situated in the vast Alentejo plain, inside walls, in a calm and unique spirit peace.
