Walking Tours in portugal

The Alentejo is one of the few undiscovered parts of Europe. It is a picturesque and tranquil region bound by the Algarve coast to the south, and by the Atlantic to the west. Largely agricultural, it is renowned for its traditional cork plantations scrub oak, olive groves, vineyards, and beautiful whitewashed hill towns. It also has an extensive coastline of untouched sandy beaches.

The province covers almost a third of the country and has a very low population density. It has an either flat or rolling landscape ideal for easy and moderate walking. Parts of the coast have always been extremely popular with Portuguese city dwellers in July and August, but it is only recently that a few adventurous northern Europeans have found their way down here.
