Between Lisbon and the Algarve, lies the Alentejo, Portugal’s largest region. The name stands for “beyond the Tejo”, as it sits past the river Tagus, below Lisbon.
Alentejo is a region of vast fields dotted with olive groves, vines, and lonely cork trees. To the east, bordering with Spain, you’ll find hilltop villages with castles, and to the west, a beautiful coastline of quiet beaches.
