 about the region
The Região de Turismo Planície Dourada covers a wide territory in the south of Portugal, which includes the districts of Aljustrel, Almodôvar, Alvito, Barrancos, Beja, Castro Verde, Cuba, Ferreira do Alentejo, Mértola, Moura, Ourique, Serpa and Vidigueira.
The region is entirely interior and its boundaries are, on the north, the region of Évora, on the east, Spain, on the south, the Algarve and on the west the districts of Odemira, Santiago do Cacém and Grândola.
Within the region there are connections between the heads of district and Beja, however, these transports cater largely to the needs of the local residents of the region in terms of their working and school hours, and are therefore difficult to adapt to tourist outings.
