O fim do Em Portalegre cidade É pena que se acabe com um espaço de discussão sobre a nossa cidade.Não sei as razões que levaram os administradores à tomada desta atitude, mas reconheço que a dedicação extrema a um blog nem sempre é reconhecida por aqueles que comentam.
Portalegre não só precisa como merece a participação de todos, se nós nos calamos está na hora de outras vozes se levantarem.

 [v*c] Portugal > Plains > Portalegre > Portalegre
Located on a plateau of Serra de São Mamede, Portalegre was a properous town in the 16th and 17th centuries due mainly to the textile industry, and its tapestries - though there is now only one factory at work - are still famous.
The gastronomy in the region is also highly appreciated, from the delicious sausages and other pork cured meats to "gaspacho", a cold soup including tomato, garlic and cucumber, and "ensopado de borrego" (stew of young lamb with a rich gravy).
After lunch, you can drive from Portalegre to the peak of São Mamede, 1025 metres (3040 feet) high, along a winding road with fine views throughout the way.

Founded by King Dinis after 1290, the imposing Portalegre Castle indicates the strategic importance that the then small town of Portalegre had in the defence of the upper Alentejo border and that explains its growing economic development.
