golden plains, medieval castles and golden beaches...
To
the northeast are the beautiful villages and towns which make up the so-called
Rota dos Castelos (Castle Route): Nisa, Castelo de Vide, Marvão,
Portalegre and Alter do Chão. Further south, the landscape becomes
warmer and flatter; around Évora (one of the most beautiful towns
in Portugal), are Monsaraz, Vila Viçosa, Estremoz, and Arraiolos
(renowned for its hand made tapestries, based on traditional drawings from
the 17th and 18th centuries).
