Memories of Mourão
Memories of MourãoChimneys
Some regions in Portugal, like Algarve or Alentejo, have distinctive chimneys, with specific shapes and sizes.
Mourão is known for its “pepper-box” chimneys and I think that it is the only place with so strange constructions.
Male’s choral
It is the strongest tradition in Alentejo the mellow songs interpreted by a group of several men singing at two voices.
The restaurant that we used has a tavern at the entrance where the owner and customers… sing.
We’ve been there twice and we always had the coral spontaneous performance.
It is important to listen to the slow music (now UNESCO heritage), to better understand the slow pace that is Alentejo landmark.
