Overview
This private guided tour will introduce you to cork, one of Alentejo's natural riches, accompanied by a guide specialized in biology who will show you a cork processing factory and show you the natural environment (Montado) characteristic of Alentejo, in one of the most beautiful portuguese views from the top of the incredible Évora Monte castle.
Cork is a plant material of Cork Oak (Quercus suber). Lightweight, resistant, and with great insulating power, it is an increasingly used raw material in the world with several applications. Portugal is currently responsible for the world production of 50% of cork and Alentejo is the region of excellence in the production and use of this natural treasure, which has always been part of the culture of the Alentejo communities.
