Alto Alentejo Subregion, Rural subregion in south-central Portugal.
The Alto Alentejo extends across fertile lands with rolling hills, Mediterranean climate, and numerous cork forests between the Spanish border and Ribatejo.
The region contains multiple megalithic structures, including the Anta do Tapadão near Crato, which dates back more than three thousand years.
Local gastronomy centers on fresh ingredients from the countryside, featuring black Iberian pork dishes, regional bread, and traditional sweets like Tecolameco cake.
Travelers can reach the region via train from Lisbon to Portalegre in three and a half hours, with connections available to other major towns.
The area produces distinctive wines influenced by its granite and limestone soils, with Portalegre's cooler temperatures creating specific flavor profiles.
