Month of Music

The Mês da Música takes place in Ponte de Sor, in the União das freguesias de Ponte de Sor, Tramaga e Vale de Açor, and is organised by the Câmara Municipal de Ponte de Sor. Throughout the month, the initiative brings together various shows and musical performances, affirming music as the centre of the cultural life of the town. The União das freguesias was born from the administrative reorganisation of 2013, which merged the former parishes of Ponte de Sor, Tramaga e Vale de Açor. The very name of Ponte de Sor refers to an ancient Roman bridge over the Sor stream, a sign of the long human presence in this territory.

In the heart of the Alentejo, where the plain opens in shades of gold, lie three lands that walk together: Ponte de Sor, Tramaga and Vale de Açor. These are lands of work and festivity, of faith and fellowship, where time is measured by the seasons and Alentejo hospitality shows all its greatness. They preserve a heritage that speaks of the past with a clear voice, from ancient churches to the fountains and bridges that cross streams and centuries. And there is the generous table — from lamb stew to açorda, from tigelada to bolo de bacia — that makes every meal a heritage savoured slowly. Come and discover the Alentejo as it truly is: sincere, welcoming and unforgettable.
