Every two years, the streets of Redondo are entirely decorated with flowers and paper decorations. The town hall provides the materials, and volunteer residents handcraft all the decorations. Each street has its own theme. This year, for example, there's Lego, the Olympic Games, agriculture, vineyards, flamenco, and more. It's absolutely magnificent. I highly recommend it.

Right next to the town hall, but outside the city walls, is Borba's mother church, dedicated to Nossa Senhora das Neves. According to the memorial stone inside the church, it was founded in 1420.

Estremoz is a Portuguese city located in the district of Évora, in Alto Alentejo, known as the "marble capital" of Portugal. It is divided into two parts: a medieval upper town, enclosed by walls, with old white houses and an imposing castle (the Castle of Queen Santa Isabel, which houses a Pousada), and a lower town with eighteenth-century fortifications. Estremoz is famous for its white marble quarries, which have made Portugal a major world exporter, and for its traditional terracotta crafts, especially the "puppets" (Bonecos de Estremoz), a UNESCO Intangible Heritage. The city hosts a lively weekly farmers' market.

Castelo de Redondo is a medieval fortress built in the 13th century by order of King D. Dinis. The castle played a crucial defensive role in the region. Although today, the only things that remain are the perimeter walls, with an irregular perimeter and several quadrangular towers, and part of the old Torre de Menagem (Keep).
