The Fresco Route is a cultural initiative for tourists organized by the Association of Municipalities of the Central Alentejo, involving the municipalities of Alvito, Cuba, Portel, Viana do Alentejo and Vidigueira.
It offers six tours to view frescoes and other murals dating from 15th century to the beginning of 19th located in religious buildings (urban and rural) across five municipalities. As well as discovering the heritage, the Fresco Route also provides an opportunity to sample the local cuisine, handicrafts, folk music (cante Alentejano) and of course the natural landscape of this region of Central Alentejo.
