Other things to note The “Herdade da Apariça e Chaparral”, with 720 ha, was purchased in 1995 by Mr. Jorge Bobone and his father, Mr. Carlos Bobone. Located in the lower Alentejo, between Castro Verde and Mértola, its main activity is extensive farming of pure-bred Mertolenga cattle for beef, with a total of 400 animals, among reproductive females (240), bulls (4) and young animals. Its owners are members of the “Associação de Criadores de Bovinos Mertolengos” (Association of Mertolengo Cattle Breeders). More recently, in 2007, Mr. Jorge Bobone started a new activity with Thoroughbred Arabian Horses, a breed that he is passionate for since he was little, not only for its beauty and endurance, but mostly for its dedication, humility and kindness. Also in 2007, Herdade da Apariça e Chaparral won 1st place in a national contest organized by the SPEA society, “KNOW THE BIRDS IN YOUR PROPERTY”, a contest that awarded the Herdade da Apariça e Chaparral as the best national site for the Birdwatching activity or Bird and Nature Watching, considering the diversity of the fauna and flora that can be observed in its 720 ha.
