ESCAPE GUIDE

GUIDE + WEB PORTAL

Editorial Dear Reader Almost ending the year 2023 ending the year 2023. I present 12 destinations chosen by me to visit in 2024. The selection proved to be very difficult, because there were only 12, there could be 24, 36 or many more. In these 31 editions of ABSOLUTE ESCAPE, on the TRAVELOSOPHY portal and on the ABSOLUTE GUIDE portal, there are many more that deserve to be highlighted. From the north to the south of Portugal, there are accommodation destinations that make us feel at home, with family, away from the stress of everyday life and that make us feel good. Because many destinations are not here in 2024, we will publish another edition with more destinations, and the ABSOLUTE GUIDE in 2024 will have more than 150 dream places, which will make your choice very difficult. The dream called ABSOLUTE ESCAPE continues to live with this 31st edition, and grows every day with our portals and guides. In 2024, SAVORY MAG will occupy a prominent place in our universe, with more editions and articles on the portal.

I end by thanking you for continuing to read my magazines and visit the ABSOLUTE ESCAPE portals, they are the driving force behind this dream project, carried out in a passionate way. Until the next edition.

HOTEL CONVENTO DE SÃO PAULO

There is a place where the serenity of the Alentejo, the diversity of a mountain range and respect for heritage intersect, allowing for a unique experience based on the richness of the past, the authenticity of the region and the refinement of the details that respond to the demands of the 21st century. Located in Serra d’Ossa, between Estremoz and Redondo, the Convento de São Paulo is a true work of art, perfectly preserved, with a collection of tiles worthy of a museum gallery. True legends of the history of Portugal passed through its rooms and corridors, such as D. Sebastião, D. João IV and D. Catarina de Bragança. Proof of this is the canvas restored by the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, existing in the Convent Library, which attests to Sebastião’s passage through this space at the end of 1577.
