Nestled in the Alentejo region of Portugal is Beja. The quaint town is embedded in the fertile farmland and sleeps patiently beside a marble castle tower on top of a 277-metre hill. Beja has existed ever since the Celts and, after many battles and historical milestones, the city has become a popular spot for the Portuguese and tourists alike. It is famous for its hot climate and its stunning and important historical remains that are still standing today with all their beauty.
While not a big city full of hustle and bustle, the experience of Beja is one to remember. The beautiful city still offers plenty of things to do and numerous things to see. Here are just five of them.

The eastern Algarve region, however, presents a much calmer and more relaxed atmosphere than the hectic western Algarve, though there are still plenty of things to do in Tavira!
