2nd edition Published: May 2019 216 pages Bradt's Alentejo is the first full
guide to the raw, beguiling heartland of southern Portugal. Dividing the
Alentejo into three distinct sections, with detailed maps and itineraries
suitable for all seasons, this guide offers by far the fullest and most complete
coverage of the Alentejo region available. Aimed primarily at independent
travellers and holidaymakers of all ages and on all budgets, it caters for
nature lovers and hikers, history and archaeology enthusiasts, and anyone
interested in discovering one of the least explored regions of western Europe.
Regional food and wine specialities are also covered, along with details of the
Alentejo's extraordinary range of accommodation, which is intricately bound with
the region's history, from historic castles, palaces and monasteries converted
into hotels and pousadas, to farm stays on cork-growing estates and budget
pensőes and albergarias (inns).
