Location

The Travessa Garden is pleasantly situated in the locality of Foros das Quintas, which in turn belongs to the parish of Boavista dos Pinheiros, in the municipality of Odemira. This green corner is nestled in the heart of Alentejo, more specifically in the district of Beja, a region known for its vast open landscapes and more serene pace of life. Its location in a "travessa" (alley or side street) suggests it is a welcoming and sheltered space, providing a natural refuge within the more rural fabric of the village.

An Oasis of Vegetal Tranquility

This garden offers a true oasis where nature reveals itself in full harmony. As a typical "jardim da travessa" (alley garden), it invites a tranquil stroll among its flora, which adapts to the region's Mediterranean climate. You can observe a diversity of plants and shrubs that bloom throughout the year, providing ever-changing colors. It is an ideal space for a relaxing break, where the sounds of nature and the scents of plants contribute to a feeling of deep tranquility.

Traces of a Community Space

The Travessa Garden is a charismatic and integrating element in the life of Foros das Quintas. Although it is a space for individual contemplation, its very designation, "da Travessa", refers to the idea of a meeting point, or simply a pleasant place to pass through for inhabitants and visitors. Its simplicity is its greatest beauty, reflecting the authentic character and hospitality of the Alentejo region. It is an invitation to enjoy a moment of introspection or to simply absorb the local atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of large urban centers.
