The Alentejo is a region of Portugal that offers great landscapes and incredible stretches of land. For those who like to enjoy their holidays in peace and quality, there is nothing like dedicating part of those days off to visiting the village of Santa Susana.
Located in Alcácer do Sal, this is yet another Portuguese village facing the problem of depopulation, but it is still full of charm and points of interest such as Thubten Phuntsog Gephel Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat, located just 5 km from the village.
Forget the stress of everyday life, so common in big cities. Being in Santa Susana means sharing half a dozen streets (literally) with around 200 inhabitants and where there is almost no commerce (essential goods are purchased in Alcácer do Sal).
However, it has many charms, namely its rural and traditional architecture. The village is located just 1h30 from the capital and is worth a visit.
