11、ed my first beer in ICervejaria, a restaurant in Zambujeira do Mar, one of the prettiest villages on Portugal ssouth-west coast. The place is empty, but this doesn t surprise me at all. I have spent two weein this area, driving along empty roads, playing with my son on empty beaches, and staying inB

12、&Bs where we are the only guests.(2)No doubt the restaurant, run by two brothers for the past 28 years, is buzzing in July and August, when Portuguese holidaymakers descend on the Alentejo coast. But for the other 10 months of the year, the trickle of diners who come to feast on fantastically fresh

13、seafood reflects the general pace of life in the Alentejo: sleepy, bordering on comatose.(3)One of the poorest, least-developed, least-populated regions in western Europe, the Alentejo has been dubbed both the Provence and the Tuscany of Portugal. Neither is accurate. Itsscenery is not as pretty and

Protected by the South West Alentejo and Costa Vicentinanational park, the 100 km of coastline from Porto Covo in the Alentejo to Burgau in the Algarvei

16、s the most stunning in Europe. And yet few people seem to know about it. Walkers come toadmire the views from the Fisherman s Way, surfers to ride the best waves in Europe, but dayafter day we had spectacular beaches to ourselves.精品文档(5)The lack of awareness is partly a matter of accessibility (thes

17、e beaches are a good two hours drive from either Faro or Lisbon airports) and partly to do with a lack of beachside accommodation. There are some gorgeous, independent guesthouses in this area, but they are hidden in valleys or at the end of dirt tracks.(6)Our base was a beautiful 600-acre estate of

18、 uncultivated land covered in rock-rose, eucalyptus and wild flowers 13km inland from Zambujeira. Our one-bedroom home, Azenha, was once home to the miller who tended the now-restored watermill next to it. A kilometre awayfrom the main house, pool and restaurant, it is gloriously isolated.(7) Steppi

On some days, we tramped uphill to the windmill, now a romantic house for two, for panoramic views across the estate and beyond.(10) When we ventured out, we were always drawn back to the coast the gentle sands andshallow bay of Farol beach.
