One of the greatest Portuguese writers of all time, Miguel Torga, once wrote: "The light that illuminates you, Land of the colour of the eyes of those who look, The peace that is guessed at in your solitude (...) The mystery of your immensity Where time walks without arriving...". The Alentejo corresponds to a third of the national territory and has little more than half a million inhabitants. In the eyes of those who visit it, it is indeed immense, but what stands out is its very special light. Its location, one of the most south-western regions of the European continent, in a climate often influenced by the winds that blow in from Africa and the breeze that comes from the Atlantic, creates a unique luminosity. From sunrise to sunset, through the night (the world's first Starlight Destination), there are countless special moments to contemplate this light. Visit "Alentejo, where the light never fades". #thelightofAlentejo ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2023/07/18/446848_V1_900x506_Card_35298_Alentejo_01.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ## Discover Alentejo culture A deep, rich culture runs through the Alentejo. In open air art galleries, the earliest prehistoric daubings of man's primitive art can be seen on the rock.
