The Alentejo region is known for its traditional crafts, fine cheeses and excellent wines. Walking, cycling, water sports, fishing and horseback riding are popular.
It's a little strange that the West does not mention the virgin Alentejo coast 160 km. Tourism here is developing rapidly, but it is a protected area, no building allowed on the coast. So this area will continue to be so beautiful as it is.
