2 – HISTORY Brief History of the Event The Baja of Portalegre was the first cross country event held in Portugal, in June 1987 based in the border town of Portalegre. In fact the Clube Aventura, headed by José Megre, an ex-Dakar Rally driver had this event in mind since 1983, but it took him almost 4 years to materialize the idea, since he had to get the help and authorization from the local authorities. Dr. Miranda Calha, today a member of Parliament and, at that time Minister of the Sports, was behind this support. As the non competitive cross country events had started in 1982, also organised by Megre and some friends under the banner of Clube Todo-o-Terreno, and as some Portuguese drivers were competing in the Dakar Rally since 1982, (himself one of the factory drivers of UMM) Megre had a tremendous success when he launched the first Baja of Portalegre, which was the starting the Cross Country discipline in Portugal. 100 cars and more than 100 bikes entered the first Baja Portalegre, which was run under the name Rali Maratona de Portalegre – sponsored by Finicisa. The event was run on a circuit of 350 km to be done twice with no stops. Heavy rains and mud made the event a tremendous challenge for the drivers of both, cars and bikes. The second and third time edition, held the two following years, had the entries doubled, and the same mud condition. On the 4th edition, 250 cars and 450 bikes entered, after a memorable 1989 edition where only 10% of the starters finished!! Since the first year, the bike event was very international and the best riders came to Portalegre. From Serge Bacou, Thierry Charbonnier, Gilles Lalay, Stephane Peterhansel, David Castera, Cyril Esquirol, Richard Sainct, Alain Perez, Thierry Magnaldi, etc.. all have participated in the event. But only in 1995 and 1996, a foreigner rider won (Richard Sainct and Alain Perez).

PORTALEGRE
The Northern Alentejo - Portalegre - is almost a mythic region, a region where time is time. Reality lies here, waiting to be unveiled, in the endless plains and mountains, in the water that entertains and cures, in the great open spaces of nature or in those built by man both for ancient wars and for peace. Authenticity lies here, in the nobility that our forebear's lent to the stones of the dolmens and menhirs, to the armorial bearing of the manor houses and to the unique flavours generated in secret in the ancient convents and wineries. The truth also lies here, in the festival and the fair, in the music, the dancing and in the local art, where tradition is maintained. The city of Portalegre, with about 16000 inhabitants, grew up mainly from the 16th century on, moment when Portalegre became town and bishopric. Also the economical progress, result of the agriculture, trade and industry, took some noble and bourgeois families to the new town, where they built houses with some charm and greatness. The places to visit are open every day, except Mondays; the schedules are similar (9h30 -12h30 /14h – 18h).
SIGHTSEEING The Cathedral, built in 1556, suffered important decoration changes between 1737 and 1798 and exhibits beautiful tile panels and paintings. The Manufacture of Tapestries of Portalegre (the visit should be booked in advance) is the place where the ex-libris of Portalegre is made. The tapestries of Portalegre are unique because of the stitch that is used, a detail created by Manuel do Carmo Peixeiro at the middle of last century. This stitch, known as Stitch of Portalegreallows the extraordinary resistance, ability of expression and the amazing draw’s interpretation that characterizes the tapestries of Portalegre. The Municipal Museum (closed during 2007) displays religious art and wonderful collections of Portuguese ceramics; the House Museum of José Régio has religious art and folk art objects; the Tapestries Museum Guy Fino presents the ex-libris of Portalegre – reproductions of contemporary art made in wool. The Castle, built by order of the king D. Dinis in 1290 to defend this border area, has now a different use: a wood structure, signed by the Architect Cândido Chuva Gomes, unites the towers and presents a museum, an exhibition room and a restaurant. Known as the city of the seven convents, nowadays we can visit two: the Convent of St. Claire (occupied by the Public Library) and the Monastery of St. Bernard (occupied by the National
Guard School). This monastery was founded in 1518 by Jorge de Melo, a bishop whose mausoleum is a sumptuous masterpiece done in marble. TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS Popular sweets: boleimas (bread’s dough with cinnamon and sugar), bolo finto (a cake flavoured with anise) and almonds of Portalegre (almonds covered with sugar). Conventual sweets: the nuns of the convents of St. Claire and St. Bernard started the art of to do sweets, such as rebuçados de ovos (egg yolk with sugar, covered with sugar glace), manjar branco (rice floor with milk), lampreia (almond, egg yolk and sugar), queijo dourado (almond, pumpkin and sugar). In the other hand, Portalegre displays a set of traditional quality products with Protected Designation of Origin, like the apple of Portalegre (I.G.P.), the Cherry of St. Julião (I.G.P.) and the Portalegre’s sausiches (D.O.P.). LEISURE The region of Portalegre offers a variety of activities among which you are sure to find the right one for you. A hike through the Serra de São Mamede along footpaths marked out and provided with information is a true privilege. Trips by bike or four wheel motorcycles provide full scope for the spirit of adventure that lives within us all. Horse rides are another possibility at many rural tourism centres and at the Portalegre’s Equestrian Centre. There are many dams - Apartadura, Póvoa, Caia, Maranhão and Montargil – that you can use for sport. Some mountains are excellent to the practice of hiking and rappel.
