Alentejo - Portugal

I haven'te been to the Alentejo coast but I've already been a couple of times to other places in the interior of these portuguese region. On this card I can identify Évora and Mértola, two lovety cities that I visited last year. 
This card and the previous one were both sent by Ana Silva.

The Alentejo is the beautiful region of Portugal that lies between the Algarve and central Lisbon region. This vast and sparsely populated area covers over 30% of Portugal and is characterised by its gentle rolling hills, historic fortified towns and intense summer heat.
The Alentejo is virtually undiscovered by foreign tourists but it is one of the most fascinating regions of Portugal. Intrepid visitors who take the time to explore the Alentejo will discover traditional cultures, a stunning coastline and an infectious slow pace of life. 
The Alentejo is one of the most varied regions of Portugal. On the western coastline it is possible to surf on near deserted beaches while to the east there are ancient fortified towns waiting to be explored. In-between there are empty roads, olive fields and sleepy villages – the Alentejo is the idyllic heartland of Portugal. - in: https://myportugalholiday.com/portugal-guides/alentejo-portugal.html
