Alentejo, the largest region of Portugal, composed by golden plains dotted with cork oaks and olive trees. Monsaraz, a walled village with whitewashed houses and cobblestone streets that hang over a hill with a fantastic view for Europe’s largest artificial lake – Alqueva, is one among the many treasures one can explore in this Portuguese outback.
