Location:
Cercal do Alentejo is a Portuguese village belonging to the municipality of Santiago do Cacém, with 136.40 km² of area.

Being situated less than 15 kilometers from the beaches of the Alentejo Coast, it has a temperate climate, which allows it to have one of the most diverse faunas and floras of the entire Southwest Alentejo.

It was the county seat between 1836 and 1855. It was constituted by the parishes of Cercal, Colos and Vila Nova de Milfontes. It had, in 1849, 3 255 inhabitants.
The village was elevated on June 20, 1991, and its designation was changed from Cercal to Cercal do Alentejo.

Being situated less than 15 kilometers from the beaches of the Alentejo Coast, it has a temperate climate, which allows it to have one of the most diverse faunas and floras of the entire Southwest Alentejo.

Economy:
In the 19th century, mining was developed, particularly in the 1970s, with the discovery of new ores such as barite, manganese and manganite.

The largest exploration in this area was, however, iron, with five mines of this type of extraction: Cerro da Fonte, Santa de Cima, Toca do Mocho, Serra da Mina, Serra das Tulhas and Serra de Rosalgar. However, these mines ended their activity in 2000.

Cercal do Alentejo presented indispensable reserves of ferrous minerals, useful to various metallurgical and metalworking industries.

Physically, the ore from the Serra das Tulhas mine was similar to the Serra da Mina and Toca do Mocho concessions - it was massive, not very compact and of medium hardness. Sometimes it appeared hard and spongy, but in regions where the manganese content rose a lot, it became a bit earthy.

From a chemical point of view, it can be said that the ore was frankly good. Silica rarely exceeded 5%, and alumina also did not present high levels. As for iron, the content was usually 50% and the manganese had levels ranging from 6 to 13%, which valued the ore very much.

A magnificent estate with 85 hectares, of cork trees that appeals to the quiet of the Alentejo, with its landscapes of silence, intersected by green and culture and the proximity to the sea and its Alentejo beaches, so appreciated by Portuguese tourism as well as by the foreign public.

If not, let us see the last few years and highlighted 2016, which was the year of the Alentejo with regard to tourism. Several events and news highlighted the region and the numbers seem to confirm that the Alentejo is really in fashion. According to the president of the Regional Tourism Authority of Alentejo and Ribatejo, ’2016 was the best year ever’, in terms of tourism, for Alentejo. In 2014 and 2015, ’We made the best indicators, the highest number of overnight stays, the occupancy rate, all numbers went up significantly, as they had never gone up, and this is relevant, in an exceptional year for all tourism in the Alentejo’ - Supper da Silva.
Contributing to these data were the various distinctions that the region has received over the past few years.
The accolades came from around the world, when the National Geographic Traveler distinguished Alentejo as one of the 21 best destinations to visit. The region was highlighted as having a ’slow pace, which is part of the attraction’, which advises you to ’relax, practice patience and not look at the clock’.
An article published in The Guardiand wrote Alentejo as the ’new Tuscany’ or ’cheaper Tuscany’. There were many nice words that painted the region as the ’granary’ and ’gastronomic soul’ of Portugal. The publication returned to writing about the Alentejo, this time focusing on the beaches of the Alentejo coast, which it considered ’the best in the world’.
The newspaper published a guide in which it advised readers to forget about Ibiza or the Riviera, and to get lost in this little explored Portuguese region, filled with ’glorious’ bathing areas, which are distinguished by their ’charm’, which The Guardian he considered ’more subtle than that of Provence or Tuscany, regions that are postcards from France and Italy’.
Words from the United States ... USA Today readers chose Alentejo as the best wine tourism region in the world. He considered ’this intriguing rural region is like a journey back in time for wine lovers. The diverse terrain holds olive groves and vineyards, picturesque villages, meadows full of flowers and forests’. Anda highlights the local cuisine ’as rustic and authentic, making the most of the agrarian lifestyle in the region’.
The Alentejo is in fashion! A fashion that grows and is about to stay!
