Portugal's Hidden Treasure

EXPLORE TIMELESS VILLAGES, BREATHTAKING VISTAS, AND RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE

The Alentejo region, Portugal’s least densely populated area, lies between Lisbon and the Algarve, stretching from the Silver Coast in the west to the Spanish border in the east.

The region boasts a diverse landscape that includes a stunning coastline along the Atlantic, expansive plains of wine and olive hills, and picturesque countryside views. It’s also the country’s largest region, with Évora as its main city, renowned for its Roman and Medieval heritage.

Unveiling Portugal

When thinking of the Alentejo, Portuguese often conjures images of a leisurely way of life, grape-covered hills, and shiny summer days. It’s a place where visitors are encouraged to embrace the unhurried pace and savor the tranquility of the surroundings.

The Alentejo’s cork tree forests, known as the Montado Alentejano, contribute to nearly half of the world’s cork production. Additionally, the region stands as a major player in olive oil production. Furthermore, it has a history in winemaking, boasting some of the oldest wine-producing traditions in Portugal and exporting world-class wines.

Historical treasures abound in the Alentejo, with amazing sites such as Évora and the fortified village of Elvas near the Spanish border, both designated UNESCO World Heritage sites. Exploring further afield, villages like Marvão, Castelo de Vide, Evoramonte, Monsaraz, Borba, and Vila Viçosa offer glimpses into the region’s rich history, with well-preserved medieval castles, ancient cobblestone streets, and charming whitewashed houses.

Along the coastline, Zambujeira do Mar, Vila Nova de Milfontes, and Porto Covo are the top destinations for beach lovers, while Comporta, further north towards Lisbon, has gained popularity as a luxurious summer beach retreat.

For those seeking peace and tranquility amidst rural landscapes, the Alentejo region is an ideal destination. Its laid-back atmosphere, picturesque villages, and traditional Portuguese charm make it a haven for relaxation and exploration.
