This region covers a large extension, from the Tagus river to the Algarve region, and boasts everything that a traveler would expect from Portugal: wild beaches, amazing landscape made up with infinite crop fields and grazing lands dotted with cork oaks, towns clinged to the past (Monsaraz, Portalegre, Santarém…), and UNESCO World Heritage Cities such as Evora and Elvas…
This region is also home to the largest artificial lake in Europe, where you can drive the scenic roads in the surroundings, practice some water sports, sleep in a boat, or surrender to stargazing at night. Alqueva which is in Alentejo is a fantastic place for superb observation of the night sky.
