Holiday home in Alentejo: where nature and adventure combine
Alentejo's panoramic landscapes span from marshes bordering the Sado estuary and the hills of the Serra de Grândola, to a stunning natural coastline featuring wind-carved cliffs and sand dunes. Several national parks, including the Nature Reserve of the Sado Estuary, Nature Reserve of the Lakes of Santo André and Sancha and the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, attract nature lovers and hikers. The scenic country lanes, known as estradas municipais, are geared towards cycle tourism. Other popular outdoor activities include dolphin and flamingo-spotting excursions, fishing, surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing and kitesurfing: the possibilities are endless, especially for families with kids. With plenty of sunshine and clear skies - especially from spring to autumn - parachuting, paragliding, hot-air ballooning and microlight flights are also popular.
Rich in culture and tradition
Book a holiday house on the Alentejan Coast and lounge all day in the tascas (small taverns) and cosy restaurants that line the beaches and fishing ports. A holiday house or holiday rental in a small village - many of which are perched on hilltops - is a great way to experience the warmth of the locals and sample the region's rustic cuisine, including the famous black pork. Sit out on the terrace of your holiday rental and take in spectacular views over historical villages such as São Luís and the fairytale countryside beyond with a glass of local wine. Alentejo's principal cities - Évora, Elvas, Portalegre, Beja and Sines - are rich in history and offer a range of traditional holiday homes or modern holiday apartments.
