Vineyards and Olive Groves

Estremoz, Portugal - Region of Alentejo

Vineyards and olive groves are spotted throughout the countryside of Alentejo, a region which covers more than a third of Portugal, but only accounts for about 7% of its population.  Important activities in this region include marble, cork, olive oil and mining as well as cheese, wine, ham and sausage production.
