Home of wide open plains, history and rugged coastline, the Alentejo gives us the privilege of embracing the past. Beautiful cities and city-museums brimming with heritage, tranquil hilltop medieval villages of white houses with ancestral traditions, all are today’s scenarios from ancient times. The City of Évora – a World Heritage Property is a paradise of history and culture. The famous Mediterranean diet is the main fare in the Alentejo and its wines, cheese and olive oil are shining stars of the regional cuisine. The incredible biodiversity of its forests, from whence comes the cork, and some of the best-kept coastal regions in continental Europe, invite the visitor to venture into these great spaces where pure nature reigns.
