The second project will be contiguous to the first and comprises a set of tourist houses, in a total construction area of 7.500 square metres.
In the information sent to the press was reported that the projects mean a global investment of €50 million, and should be one of the largest investment in the municipality of Estremoz, and it is expected that they will generate, locally, 100 jobs.
