Explore Evora and Alentejo, a timeless destination for culture and cuisine cradled in Portugal’s rural heart. Alentejo is an expansive region where cork oaks, olive groves and vineyards grow, and several historic towns including the colorful Alentejo village, dot the picturesque landscape. The region offers world-class stargazing opportunities at the lakeside Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve and fantastic trails on the Vicentina Walking Route. An assortment of comfort regional fare is best enjoyed along with the region’s delicious wines. Within its medieval Moorish walls, the museum-city of Evora evokes an old world charm with classical buildings, cobbled streets, fountained squares, and an aqueduct. Ruins of a Roman Temple and the Cadaval Palace are highlights amid the mostly Portuguese architecture across town. There are several impressive churches of different styles, but the Bone Chapel of Evora is unique.
