The city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site, retains a medieval flavour within its walls and in the mansions and monuments which attest the grandeur of the 16th century Court. But the whole region of Évora, together with the historical area surrounding the city, is rich with objects from the past, from pre-historic remains to the Manueline buildings which mark the centuries of the discoveries.
Specifically, Évora, is to be found at the very heart of Alentejo province, a Mediterranean region of gently undulating wheat fields, CORKOAK GROVES, vineyards and olive groves. Essencial rural, the Évora region has environmental conditions which are unique in Europe - it is so well preserved, ecologically speaking, that it is an open invitation to enjoy nature, to go for long walks, to hunt, to fish and for bird-watching in its fields, rivers and lakes.
