Where nature has prepared to welcome you It was from the South that the Portuguese first left to meet other peoples and it’s from the South that many fall in love with this country. The ocean, in all shades of blue, invites to long baths and water sports. The almost deserted islands mark the limits between the Ria Formosa and the sea. The small bays create almost private beaches. And the mountains, crowned by almond trees, oranges and fig trees, whet the appetite.
Alentejo
Where the sun shines with peace To the North, horses graze in the valley; in the vast interior we are struck by the immensity of the plains and its golden cornfields; On the coast the beaches are wild, with a rough and untamed beauty. Alentejo is embellished by its whitewashed houses crowning small elevations, the castles evoking battles and conquests, the patios and gardens of Moorish influence, which have all shaped the people and the surrounding nature.

On the coastline, by the sea, small fishermen villages and cosmopolitan beaches live side by side, a great invitation for water sports. This is also one of the favourite regions for golfers, thanks to the mild climate and the peace that is so easily found here.

In this region of mountains and natural parks, heritage is everywhere, in castles, such as in Guimarães, or in sanctuaries and churches which, in summer days, become the stage of festivities.
