Beirã is a small, quiet town surrounded by rolling countryside, with cork oak forests, olive groves and a rural, peaceful atmosphere typical of the Alto Alentejo. This village is often associated with its historic train station, once an important hub on the line between Lisbon and Madrid, which still retains some of its old-world charm. Beirã is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding nature and the area's rich historical sites, such as the nearby, well-preserved medieval village of Marvão, perched on a hill, or the Roman city of Ammaia.

You can cycle on the dam and watch the reservoir from this viewpoint.

The chafurdão is a traditional dry-stone shelter with a false dome, typical of the region’s vernacular heritage. Though most surviving examples are recent (the oldest dated to 1733), they follow ancient construction techniques. Oriented toward sunrise, these structures include ventilation and lighting through wall openings. Built for temporary use by farmers and shepherds, they often have walled pens and a compact earth-covered roof stabilized by stone capping.

In Beirã you can find an old train station and railway and can experience the Rail Bike Marvão: info on https://www.railbikemarvao.com
