Alentejo

The plain defines the territory, a wavy plain that changes its colours each season: in Winter green is dominating, in Springtime a blanket of flowers of different shades transforms the region into a festival of colour, in Summer we are struck by the sense of dryness and heat conveyed by the golden that conquers everything; finally, in Autumn the fields are ploughed and sown, and the colour brown rules in countless shades of land. And everything starts over again!

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:The landscape is strong, endless and impressive.

Nice introduction for people to the Alentejo region. The only thing missing are the pork and clams:-]
