This pocket-sized Alentejo town in southern Portugal's Beja district is home to the Museum of Southwestern Writing, which holds ancient stones bearing what some archaeologists consider a proto-Celtic language — featured in a 2015 BBC documentary series. Vineyards surround the town, and it carries a café and restaurant scene that outpaces the town's size.
