Portalegre once again hosts the famous car and motorcycle race, included in the FIA TT World Cup and the FIM Bajas World Cup. Between the 27th and 29th of October, the Baja Portalegre 500 returns to Alto Alentejo for its 36th edition. Known for the demanding selective sectors, resulting from normally adverse weather conditions, the event gains special attention as it usually dictates the winners of the championships.
