In Alter do Chão, a cooperation protocol was signed between the Vila Galé Group, Companhia das Lezírias, and the Alter do Chão Professional Rural Development School (EPDRAC), with the aim of promoting equestrian tourism and enhancing the value of the Lusitano horse in the region. The partnership includes regular equestrian demonstrations, support for the preservation of indigenous breeds and the promotion of tourist activities related to the Lusitano horse.
The Vila Galé Collection Alter Real hotel, located on the former premises of the Stud Farm, is already a centre of attraction for equestrian and rural tourism. The aim of this partnership is to broaden the range of experiences on offer to guests and visitors, making Alter do Chão a benchmark destination for lovers of equestrian culture.
Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Vila Galé Group, emphasised: “Equestrian tourism has enormous potential, and Alter do Chão meets all the conditions to establish itself as a benchmark destination. Our aim is to provide differentiating experiences, enhancing the territory and its culture”.
