Aldeia Típica de Alportel

Narrow cobblestone streets, highlighted by chimneys, ovens, sloping roofs, whitewashed walls, courtyards, and terraces. A stroll leads to tranquility, and the fresh air carries the aroma of rockrose, rosemary, and wildflowers. The historic center of the village of São Brás de Alportel features single-story, whitewashed houses of traditional architecture, as well as the palatial buildings of former cork industrialists and merchants, with tiled facades, carved stonework, and iron balconies.
