It has vast plains and in the north there is a small mountain, Serra do Mendro. On the east side flows the Guadiana River. Long Life Learning Programme_Grundtvig Vidigueira - ALENTEJO

Long Life Learning Programme_Grundtvig Personality – Famous writer Fialho de Almeida Fialho de Almeida, Portuguese writer, (1857-1911) was born in Vila de Frades, a small village near Vidigueira and he lived in Cuba. He said: “God made the man in His image and likeness, and made the critic like the cat…caustic style, sharp claw. Scathing but with good humour.” In, www.vidaslusofonas.pt
Long Life Learning Programme_Grundtvig Rota do Fresco (Route of the Fresco) It is a visit to several churches of the region whose ceilings are covered with paintings. These are very important murals because of the technique used to paint the walls, we call it Fresco, because the drawings are painted on the top of a covering that must be wet during the whole process. These drawings are one of the religious heritage of the southern of Portugal. The fresco is a technique that was first used in Italy during the Renaissance period, where the paintings are made on a mortar of lime and sand still wet. In, www.prorestauro.com
