Portugal & Alentejo

Largely undiscovered but freely available to anyone looking for something different. Portugal is a country of outstanding natural beauty, scattered with medieval towns, historic castles and palaces. Dating from 1143 and whose continental borders were established in 1297.

Portugal – is the last real old place in Europe .

But the first thing travellers normally notice is how intriguingly different Portugal is from Spain, such as the language, food, history and music. And then they realise how pleasant the people are – for they seem to have unlimited patience when dealing with tourists.
