Portel

Portel is a charming village located in the heart of the Alentejo, in the Évora district. Its proximity to the Alqueva Dam and the Guadiana River is one of many reasons to attract visitors and tourists of different nationalities.

The Alentejo, with its plains and the Serra de Portel, with sometimes green landscapes, sometimes painted in gold color, offer an unforgettable experience throughout the 4 seasons. The charms of this village extend to the neighboring counties: Évora, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Moura, Vidigueira, Cuba and Viana do Alentejo.

Its main point of reference is its castle, rising on a hill topped by typical Alentejan houses, with whitewashed walls and clay tiles. The medieval castle of Portel, now in ruins, dates back to the 13th century and was built by D. Afonso III and is now considered a national monument.
