Portalegre
The city of Portalegre is located 12 kilometers from Quinta do Pomarinho. Portalegre, the former strategic city with three castle towers, is not far from the Spanish border and was very prosperous during the Renaissance. This can be seen from the rich Baroque architecture in the old city center of Portalegre, where you can have lovely walks. The dynamic town of Portalegre faces the south and watches over the fields, olive groves, and the hilly horizon of the green Alto Alentejo. Portalegre and its surroundings form an ideal home base for trips in the natural park Serra de São Mamede.
