Quinta da Bazágueda

Service Description

Do not expect to find a fancy farm in this so fashionable today stream of made for the public "authentic" places. Here, the time stopped when people start abandoning the mountain. A few survivors kept the farm going and you can see it by its extremely rustic looks. The animals present reflect other times in which farming was very, very different. They are the survivors of an era that doesn't come back. Four different breeds: goats (Cabra Charnequeira), sheep (Ovelha Churra do Campo), cows (Vaca Jarmelista) and dogs (Rafeiro do Alentejo). You'll be explained about their History, their ways of beeing, how they interact with each other and with humans and how important it is not to loose these ancient breeds. A great chance to learn about old farming.
