PORTUGAL
Alentejo - Evora - Monsaraz
Inland, the vast golden wheat fields undulate in the wind; along the coast, unspoilt beaches look rugged and unexplored.
The open, ample landscape is peppered with cork-oaks or olive trees that have withstood the ravages of time. Occasionally sturdy fortress walls rise up from hills, as at Marvao or Monsaraz. Atop small hills stand white one-storey farmsteads, while the castles are reminders of the battles and conquests that once took place here.
