Typical landscape of rural Alentejo Typical landscape of rural Alentejo Alentejo pronounced É?lẽˈtɛʒu is a south-central region of Portugal. Its name's origin, Além-Tejo, literally translates to Beyond the Tagus or Across the Tagus.

Contents 1 Geography 2 Nature 3 Economy 4 Trivia 5 Subregions 6 External links Geography Topographically the countryside varies considerably, from the open rolling plains of the south of the Alentejo to the granite hills that border Spain in the north-east. To feed the water needs of this considerable area a number of public dams have been constructed, most notably the Alqueva Dam. Nature To the east of Portalegre is the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede, a Nature Park Area that includes charming medieval villages that have changed very little from those days. In the south near Mértola is another Nature Park Area named Parque Natural do Vale Guadiana. This is mainly uninhabited and a contrast to the other above. To the west, the coastal strip that runs from the port of Sines down to Cabo de São Vicente is the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. Economy The area is commonly known as the bread basket of Portugal, a region of vast open countryside with undulating plains and rich fertile soil. With very few exceptions all the major towns are mainly reliant on agriculture, livestock and wood. There are several types of typical cheeses, wines and smoked hams and sausages made in Alentejo region, among these: Queijo de Serpa, Queijo de Évora and Queijo de Nisa cheeses; Vinho do Alentejo and Vinho do Redondo wines; and presunto ham. Marble, cork, olive oil and mining industries are other important activities in the region. Trivia Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. June 2008 The Alqueva dam is today a landmark of this region.
