Alentejo – Portugal

Marvão is visible from many kilometers away.
When we approach Marvão, what we first see is an immense quartzite monolith with a walled village on top.

Évora, a museum-city, whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th century when it became the residence of the Portuguese kings.

Belver, a quaint Alentejo parish, sits on the Tagus River’s right bank in Portalegre District, Portugal. Join me for a walk at Belver.

The cork stopper is the first thing we see when we open a bottle of good wine, and there is a 50% chance of it being a Portuguese cork.

Walking to Baleeira Beach, Sesimbra, Portugal. With a sea landscape as background and the possibility of a swim in the ocean, the walk to Praia da Baleeira gave me an excellent photo opportunity and needed distraction from my usual affairs.

Arrabida Natural Park. The breathtaking view makes me wonder why I don’t come here more often … It is lovely walking on the Park’s trails.
