For most people, even for many wine experts, Portuguese wines are still uncharted territory. Most of all, Portugal is known for port wine and Madeira. And indeed, these are world-class cult wines, the trump cards of Portuguese winemaking: It is said that their composition and proportions are strictly protected from competitors and passed down from generation to generation. All this allows Portugal to produce not only port wine and Madeira, but many original and truly valuable red and white wines.

Évora: The Book City of Portuguese Art History. When visiting the city, it is best to stop at your choice on a walking tour. You will have a wonderful opportunity to walk through the narrow streets with white houses, get acquainted with the monuments and the smallest details that testify to the history of Évora and the richness of its heritage.

Its calm and hospitable environment makes it possible to understand why this city, dating back to the Romanesque period, was chosen by the kings of Portugal in the 15th century. as a place of residence, which contributed to its development and strengthening of its role in the cultural life of the country in the following centuries. The centuries-old history of Évora and the surviving ensemble of urban buildings, characteristic of the period from the 16th-18th centuries. to the present day, served as the basis for the city to be included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your culture or just have a relaxing time, you'll feel that Évora is an inspiring city with a lot to offer. Outside the city, it is better to move along secondary roads, where you will have a great opportunity to enjoy the landscapes of Alentejo.
The plains, lost from view far on the horizon, begin off the banks of the Tagus. And if in the northern part the greenery of vast fields gives a special accent, then in the south the landscape is dominated by harmony created by a combination of sun, heat and measured rhythm. This is how Alentejo appears before us.
In Alentejo, the power of the earth leaves its mark on time, and cities such as Elvas (Elvas) and Évora (World Heritage of Humanity) clearly demonstrate the perseverance and hard work of the locals. Perhaps that is why culture and spirituality acquire a special character here. The memory of the centuries is preserved in other cities such as Santarém, Portalegre and Beja, as well as in the ancient Jewish quarters, especially in Castelo de Vide (Castelo de Vide).
The smells of the fields are everywhere here, and fragrant herbs give a special taste to fish dishes, seafood and other local dishes, which are always accompanied by excellent regional wine. After all, the whole Alentejo lives in the rhythm set by the earth.
