In The Mood for Alentejo: Part 1 | Underrated Region in Portugal | Evora & Monsaraz

This is Alentejo, a rural, sparsely populated region in Portugal that's quietly whispered between conversations about Portuguese destinations. Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, all seem to be winning laurels, but Alentejo is winning hearts. It's the largest region in the country, covering about a third of entire mainland Portugal, and offering vast swathes of farmlands, idyllic countryside, from flatlands to rolling hills, from ancient cities to magical, untouched villages overlooking horizons of incredibly vast landscapes.

On the first part of this Alentejo series, I explored the mystical city of Évora, the gateway to the Alto Alentejo (Upper Alentejo), discovering the city's ancient charms, Roman structures, gothic cathedrals and grisly catacombs. And then went beyond the city to explore one of the most breathtaking hilltop villages I've ever seen, the magical Monsaraz, the village near the sky.

A great thank you to my friends Therese (who's always game for adventure!) and Rosanna, who's an inspiration and an Alentejana herself, graciously introducing us to this wonderful region.

Hope you enjoy this brand-new IN THE MOOD FOR LIFE episode! ❤️
