    The Arrival of the King

    👑 King Manuel I is arriving EARLIER! There’s news in town… and this deserves to be announced with a trumpet fanfare! This year, King Manuel I is arriving earlier in Alvalade and bringing something new with him: before setting out in procession through the town’s streets, there will be a Royal Banquet. On Saturday, September 19, at 12:00 p.m., get ready to welcome King Manuel I and his entourage at Buraco do Rey. At 12:30 p.m., the Royal Banquet will be served, with a reception for official dignitaries and the townspeople, before the King and his entourage set off for the grand Royal Procession. And in a year when we’re traveling “From Ailment to Cure,” one thing is certain: even a Rey knows that, before any cure, one must treat the ailment… hunger! 👑 Come welcome El-Rey. 🍷 Come to the Royal Banquet. 🎺 And join his entourage through the streets of Alvalade. Because this year… El-Rey is arriving early. And so is the banquet! 📅 September 18, 19, and 20, 2026 👑 El-Rey’s Arrival — Saturday, September 19, at 12:00 p.m. 🍷 Royal Banquet — 12:30 p.m. 📞 Reservations: 965 336 322 📍 Alvalade, Alentejo Don’t miss the arrival of El-Rey!

    The Traditional Festivals of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception

    ⚜️The traditional Festivals of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception are a precious part of the religious and cultural heritage of the Parish of Cercal do Alentejo! It is the oldest festival celebrated in this town; countless generations have taken part in it, and many residents of Cercal—and others as well—make a point of returning to their hometown to participate in this moment of fellowship and faith. Long live Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception! Long live the Queen of Portugal! Long live the patron saint of our land!
