About Ourem

Bordered by numerous other towns, Ourem is home to the "Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima" that is one of the largest religious tourism sites in the world where millions of Catholics congregate every year to visit Cova da Iria, the site where 3 child shepherds are said to have had visions in 1917. If you aren't into religion, there is always the huge Castle of Ourem to occupy your time. With a population of around the 45,932 mark, the city is big enough to get lost in, but small enough to get to know the locals. From Muslims to Christians and being donated to the 3rd daughter of the first king of Portugal, Ourem has a long and ancient history. Awash in romantic myths and legends of a Christian knight kidnapping a Moorish princess who then fell in love with the knight, Ourem's locals today are more intent on being creative in coworking venues than riding off into the sunset with a beloved.

Portugal is rising unshackled from almost half a century of authoritarian rule and is trying to reinvent itself as Europe's leading tech hub. Known for its cheap rents, incredible cultural scene and awesome quality of life, Portugal is promoting the fact that it also has an economy based on knowledge and an entrepreneurial community that is growing by the day.

With its change in government, wealth of tech talent and the fact that nearly everyone speaks English, Portugal is seeing the return of many of its youth that had fled to what they perceived to be better startup shores. Ourem, like many other towns in Portugal is where you can have the perfect life/work balance without breaking your bank account. With the advent of coworking spaces, it's not only the innovative locals hanging out in the establishments, but the wandering globe-trotters who tend to linger for far longer than what they planned to.
