Glamping in South Portugal; Alentejo

Alentejo, the largest region in Portugal, is located south of the Tejo river and therefore also south of Lisbon. It includes the provinces of Portalagre, Evora and Beja and it is one of the most sparsely populated regions and characterised by large open landscapes. Alentejo, whose name means ‘beyond the Tejo’ in Portuguese, covers one third of the mainland in Portugal. The region is known for its vast, sunlit landscapes of vineyards and you will find lots of olive groves. It is also known for its unique cork trees; 70% of all cork that’s produced in Europe comes from here. Alentejo is also highly agricultural. Sheep and black pigs (‘Porco Preto’) graze the meadows.

Furthermore, one can discover medieval (Unesco) villages or city’s like Elvas, Marvao and the regional capital Evora. Alentejo also has beautiful sandy beaches, such as in Vila Nova de Milfontes. Alentejo is defenitely a good choice if it comes to an alternate glamping holiday. This region breaths truly blissful peace and quiet and unspoilt nature.
