Beja

Beja sits in the Alentejo's rolling cork-oak plateau at 280m elevation, and the surrounding terrain attracts serious gravel and trail cyclists — the 10th Geração Radical Marathon (65km cycling event) and BTT Trails do Pisão (70km) both route through the region's red-earth tracks and gentle climbs. Runners find authentic hill and ultra options here: ECO ESCALADA - SERRA DO MENDRO (14km climbing) tackles the nearby Serra do Mendro ridge, while SUNRISE TRAIL RUNNING Ferreira do Alentejo (30km) and the extreme HELL160 - Shadows and Dust (104km) suit those hunting serious mileage through sparse, hot countryside with minimal shade or water.
