Alcongosta is the heart of Portugal's cherry-growing region. If you pass through around the end of May, cherries will be ripe and readily available. Note the cherry mosaics in the calcada portuguesa pavement throughout the village — a tribute to the fruit that defines the local economy. The broader Fundao region produces over 60% of Portugal's cherries, and the Cereja do Fundao carries a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) dating back to 1994.
The village has a cafe and limited services.
