A must of Beja, right in the center of the city. Everybody is ultra friendly and professional here. Great prices. Excellent tapas with great wine. Cultural events and musical nights are a regular presence in Pracinha, in a city a that tends to be a little too calm at times. A mandatory stop when visiting Beja. Obrigado Patricia!

Very nice selection of pastry and coffee, located on a very quiet square with terrace. They also offer a selection of organic products and some books to read on site.
