Good night, Hivers!
How are you since yesterday?
Today I will tell you about a very well known region of my Portugal, which for many of you who has visited my country, can still be completely unknown. This region is called Alentejo. And why is a region that I, and many of the Portuguese considers it beautiful, is practically unknown to the most "occasional" tourists who honor us with your visit? Well, because it is in the interior of the country, and a little far from the city of Lisbon and the Algarve region, and much far from Porto.
A few months ago, I had the privilege of visiting a friend of mine, who lives in a locality of this beautiful region that is Alentejo. I was very close, and as such could not fail to visit the region of the Alqueva Dam. The Alqueva region suffered a transformation as "from niotic to day", and this very much at the expense of building a dam. Having as its project the development of irrigation crops (previously the Alentejo, due to its location, it was a very arid and hot area, and only allowed to develop rainfed cultures (such as gramineas), and little more, but today many companies today and farmers cooperatives managed to developed and provide more hosticle products, as well as orchards, olive groves, etc.). Of course, the landscape, fauna and flora, had as understandable a development and diversification in the last decades.
I come to share with you the warm colors of the orange land, such as the breed of cows produced in the region, which have a redheaded coloration, interspersed with small low flowers, which serpent in the paths that accompanied us.
The sky, this, could not require much more, the shades of yellow, orange and violet, are breathing to anyone.
I hope in a next publication share a little more about the beautiful Alentejo region with you.
I hope you enjoyed the photographs.
