The village of Alegrete in Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede, Portugal
| Distance from the Quinta |
8 Km |
Alegrete is a pretty hilltop village situated South of
Portalegre and just eight kilometres from Vale Lourenço. It still
maintains its quaint traditional looking houses some with
distinctive arched doorways especially in the old part of the
village which stretches from Largo do Coreto (bandstand) up to the
remains of the 14th century castle. From the ramparts of the old
castle you have a clear view of the farmland below dotted with
olive groves and the vast Alentejo plain.
