BOOM FESTIVAL

This week-long ecological festival of electronic music in the wilderness is comparable to Burning Man in California.
Monsanto is a fascinating town to visit outside the Boom Festival. Perched at an altitude of 758 metres, it offers breathtaking views over the entire region. Huge stones dating back to the Paleolithic era characterize this ancient and mysterious place. Inhabitants have built their homes among these stones, giving Monsanto a unique atmosphere. Some even compare the mystique of Monsanto to that of Hampi in India. A walk to the mountain-top fortress at sunset is a moment to reflect and appreciate the surrounding beauty. Just 18 km from Boomland, Monsanto is a must for travellers in search of an enchanting experience. Another town to visit nearby is Idanha-a-Velha, one of Portugal's oldest villages, with its Roman ruins and traces of the civilizations that have inhabited it over the centuries. The Beira Baixa region also offers a breathtaking natural landscape, with diverse flora and fauna, as well as a rich cultural and historical heritage.
