Portugal is a small country, but one whose narrow
bounds contain a huge variety of landscapes. In the
far north, the crag-topped and barren mountains, scented
with wildflowers, are the domain of the wind and lonely
shepherds. Farther south, the high sierras give way
to rippling green hills, pictures of pastoral perfection
framing age-old smallholdings, whitewashed villages,
and sun-dappled vineyards.
Farther south again, in a great belt that stretches
across a third of the country, lie the arid, sun-drilled
plains of the Alentejo, a checkerboard of wheat fields
and huge cork plantations.
