SHOPThe Location
Vila Marques, founded in 1896
in the heart of the village of Alvega, which was once an important Lusitanian city called Aritium Vetus, is located south of the municipality of Abrantes on the left bank of the Tagus River, where the river begins to free itself from deep valleys and forming alluvial and fertile soils.
Alvega
ORIGIN
Alvega, with characteristic features of the Ribatejo, Beira and Alentejo landscapes, is known for privileging the development of numerous agricultural practices, benefiting them with good quality land under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, with a hydro-agricultural network that extends through channels and sprinklers, and with a diverse geography, consisting of plains, plateau surfaces and valleys.

The plains are occupied by orchards,
horticultural crops and livestock.
The plateau surfaces are home to eucalyptus, pine
and cork oak forests with the presence of shrub extract,
which provide optimal conditions for beekeeping,
where swarms thrive and benefit from a
vast and diverse flora.
