Monte alentejano

Evoramonte, Portugal - Region of Alentejo

Set among cork-oak plantations and olive groves are the montes alentejanos, a term which refers to the house and other buildings on an extensive piece of rural property.  This is a common sight to see when traveling throughout the region of Alentejo.

This picture is taken from the top of the castle of Evoramonte.  All that can be seen is a carpet of green for miles and miles, something I never get tired of seeing!
