In this episode we’re off to Alentejo, Portugal’s largest and one of its most beautiful regions. Located in the country’s southern half, its landscapes vary from rugged coastal cliffs and cork tree covered plains to vineyards bursting with grapes. This is the place for slow travel; it’s the perfect place for walking. We explore Alentejo’s historic villages, landscapes and the region’s local culture with Ana Palma, its walking trails and sustainable travel options with Ana Carla Cabrita, and get some top tips for travelling responsibly around the region with João Ministro.
