The Municipality of Mértola, in partnership with the Portuguese Club of Monteiros and the Alentejo Federation of Hunters, is pleased to announce the holding of the first Female Mount in the municipality of Mértola.
This event, included in the 3rd edition of Jornadas da Caça, will take place on the day 8 February 2025.
The poster for this event was presented at the Expo Mértola Multipurpose Pavilion, during a public session aimed at the media, and which was attended by Mário Tomé (Mayor of Mértola), Arthur Torres Pereira (President of the Portuguese Club of Monteiros) and Nuno Ferro (President of the Alentejo Hunters Federation).
This event is particularly notable for being an all-female mount, an unusual initiative that aims to attract more and more women to the hunting sector. The Women's Riding in Mértola stands out as a unique opportunity to promote inclusion and diversity in the hunting sector. Mértola, once again asserting itself as the National Capital of Hunting, makes a difference with this type of initiative, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and the promotion of sustainable and inclusive hunting practices.
The mount will feature 35 posts and 10 packs, providing a unique experience for all participants. The value of each post is €150, including Friday dinner, breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
The registration period runs from 10 a 27 December and can be done through the following channels: Online form: merto.la/MontariaFeminino, E-mail: jcm@cm-mertola.pt and Telephone: 286 610 100
The event will start on the day 7 Feb., Friday, with a welcome reception for all mountain rangers in Mértola, followed by a typical Alentejo dinner and the drawing of mount positions.
On Saturday, day 8 Feb., gathering and breakfast will be at 8am, with the event ending at 2pm with lunch and the presentation of the respective hunting table.
We invite all Monteiras and their family/companions to visit Mértola and discover everything this charming village has to offer. Of its rich history and cultural heritage, to its stunning natural landscape and typical cuisine, Mértola is a destination that promises to delight all visitors. Come and discover the National Capital of Hunting and enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience.
The organization is from the Mértola City Council, Portuguese Club of Monteiros and Alentejo Federation of Hunters.
