​Clube de Camp Vila Galé

Imagem

More than a (good) hotel, this country club is a good opportunity to contact with the wild side of Alentejo planes.

​Well, wilderness is a little artificial, but the pace that fills the traditional jokes about "alentejanos" it's easy to feel and understand here. Winery, horse rides, organized animation, it all help to fill the day in a smooth contact with nature.

Directions: Albernoa, 25 Km from Beja

Horse riding

One of the several featured activities in Vila Galé is horse riding.

We didn't do it, but, even in low season, the activity was remarkable, and the weather perfect for a nice ride.

Quad moto


I think that it hardly fits in this well conceived contact with nature, but one of the solutions to travel around is four wheel motorbikes.

Noise and smoke across those fields?

​Well, not for me...

​Nature around Beja


Showing the nature is the main objective of Clube de Campo Vila Galé.

The area is nice (with some help from man's work), but not enough to justify the visit.

​That's why it needed to be improved.

A few imported animals joined some native other, in a small zoo that only a large fence opposite to a lake denounces as limited. Storks and other birds "cooperate" with the idea.

​Excellent

What a surprise!

Coming from Spain we stopped in Beja for lunch, in search of a "Sopa de Cação" - Dogfish soup (believe me - it is something special, when they know how to do it).

The first checked restaurant HAD the soup.

Now, the second surprise - it was the best that we tasted. Absolutely delicious and well served.

​I surely recommend this small restaurant. 
The owner was a referee in regional soccer competition (thus the restaurant's name). With humor, he explained that never went up from regional league, otherwise, instead of a restaurant he would have a hotel.
