Location

The Pisões Mill is located on the outskirts of the village of Arraiolos. It is situated in a more rural area, immersed in the tranquility and typical landscape of Alentejo. Its position offers a serene environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the village center, yet still accessible, providing a perspective on the surrounding countryside.

A Traditional Structure

This place has a mill as its central element, a structure that evokes the agricultural and rural history of the region. While it may no longer operate in the same way as in the past, the building preserves the memory of its original function, integrating into the landscape as a testament to traditional activities linked to the land. It is a point that connects the present to local heritage.

Local Culture and Flavors

Currently, Moinho de Pisões is a space dedicated to promoting natural and local products. Here you can find a strong connection with the aromatic plants that grow in the region, such as rosemary or lemon verbena, transformed into various forms. It is also a reference point for products that celebrate Alentejo's indigenous resources, such as acorn-based items.
