Natural wellbeing
Beyond the services listed, São Luís offers a kind of wellbeing that isn't dispensed at a pharmacy: the silence of inland Alentejo, the trails of the Serra de S. Domingos, swimming in the Mira River, and the calm of the Southwest Alentejo Natural Park. A rare combination of conditions to restore body and spirit.
