The TransAlentejo Walking Festival is the most important Nature Tourism event in the Alentejo, with its third edition running from October 14 to November 5, 2023.

The festival walks take place on the 50 walking routes of the TransAlentejo Network, a structure on the ground at the initiative of Turismo do Alentejo ERT in partnership with the respective municipalities of Alentejo.

This is the only tourist product structured throughout the territory and is now growing in each municipality with the Municipal Pedestrian Trails Networks under the responsibility of the municipalities.

In addition to the walks that take place on Saturday and Sunday, the event has Conferences on the themes of Hiking Tourism, Nature Tourism and Territorial Development.

Promoted by Turismo do Alentejo - Regional Agency for External Promotion, fam-trips will be held with international tour operators and press-trips with specialized journalists.

Given the size of the Alentejo, with about 31,600Km2, with 47 municipalities spread over four districts, the event is located in four centralities, in this vast territory of about a third of the Portuguese mainland.
