The Alentejo, region sweeps accross the southern part of Portugal, dotted with picturesque castle towns and quiet, hilltop villages, olive groves and fields of cork oaks and sunflowers.
To travel here is to step back in time 40 or 50 years. Life rolls along at a treacly pace; there’s an unnerving stillness to the landscape. But that stillness ends abruptly at the Atlantic Ocean, where there is drama in spades.
Protected by the South West Alentejo and Costa Vicentina national park, the 100km of coastline from Porto Covo in the Alentejo to Burgau in the Algarve is the most stunning in Europe. And yet few people seem to know about it.
Walkers come to admire the views from the Fisherman’s Way, surfers to ride the best waves in Europe, but day after day you’ll have spectacular beaches to yourselves.
‘ The plains extend as far as the eye can see. Start close to the Tagus, while to the north, the pace is set by the green of the flatlands, further south the landscape combines with the sun, the heat and a slower pace of life ’
