WHY ALENTEJO
Cork forests, whitewashed towns and Portugal's best-value luxury.
The Alentejo is Portugal's big, empty interior: cork oaks, vineyards, Évora's Roman temple and design hotels with infinity pools looking at nothing but sky. We choose the estates and farm retreats an hour and a half from Lisbon.
