Beschreibung

The tour begins with a long and quiet walk through São Luís, starting at the very heart of this village – an old shop, now converted into an atelier. Afterwards, the group leaves the village and follows an old dirt road to learn about previous mining activity in the area and to see the local vegetable gardens, cork oaks, streams and the soil that was used to paint the kitchens of the local houses. They return to São Luís passing by the washhouses and the local church. An old lodge, a blacksmith, a market built of rammed earth and a shop are all part of the world of Mr. Domingos. The group then passes by the “Casa do Povo” (House of the People) – the home of rehearsals of Alentejo’s typical singing and viola campaniça lessons. Afterwards, some time is spent to get to know Ateneu do Catorze. This space, formerly a shop, now has brought together several artists who have transformed the old residential and commercial building into their creative studios.
