Alentejo, Portugal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Alentejo is a vast, sun-drenched region in southern Portugal, covering roughly a third of the country's landmass between Lisbon and the Algarve. It's celebrated for its rolling plains of cork oak and olive trees, medieval walled villages like Évora and Monsaraz, and some of Portugal's finest red wines and traditional cuisine. The region draws travellers seeking a slower pace — cycling vineyard routes, exploring Roman ruins, and relaxing in boutique agritourism properties. Its wide-open landscapes, rich history, and relative lack of crowds make it a favourite for those venturing off the beaten track in Iberia.
