Évora & the Alentejo
Évora is a UNESCO-listed university town with a Roman temple, whitewashed lanes and a lively main square, surrounded by the rolling plains of the Alentejo. Days are slow and generous, built around long lunches, local wine and country walks among cork oaks and olive groves. In 2027 the town is European Capital of Culture, with a year-long programme of events.

People who want space, quiet and culture at a gentle price, and who enjoy the countryside more than the beach.
