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 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”.
