RUTAS ESPECIALES DE VERANO

SHADES OF MARBLE ROUTE

Let us enter the world of white gold in Alentejo. The lands of Vila Viçosa and Borba: we start with two stone quarries integrated into the National Reserve of Rosa Portugal, where marble has been harvested for over 50 and at a depth of 110 meters. From extraction we move on to transformation: we tour one of the plants at the anticline, follow the path of large marble blocks and see them become small stones on the sidewalk. We close the marble circle with the carious uses it has for heritage.
