Portugal's vast, sun-baked Alentejo province is a land of rolling plains embroidered with vineyards and textured with cork oak. Smudged with ancient whitewashed towns and villages, and peppered with medieval castles, this historic region appeals to those seeking a more traditional vacation in a place that offers peace and tranquility but still fascinates with its centuries-old culture and some of the tastiest cuisine in the country.
