Introducing Central Portugal
One of Portugal’s poorest regions, this central slice of the country has an outback-meets-the-Med feel with its vast plains of cattle and groves of olive trees and cork oaks. Richly historic, it is scattered with prehistoric remains and contains one of the country’s most architecturally rich towns, Évora, as well as several spectacular walled villages. There are fine local wines and, for the more energetic, plenty of hiking and skiing in the dramatic Beiras region.
