Why Portugal’s underrated lake country is worth exploring
It was 21 years ago when the massive gates of the Alqueva Dam shut, flooding the area with waters from the Guadiana River, thus creating this lake with its undulating shoreline, hidden bays, and a multitude of islets peppering its surface. Thanks to irrigation from these waters, the surrounding terrain is carpeted with orange groves and apple orchards, fields of olive trees, tidy vineyards, and fertile plots growing other fruits and vegetables.
The vegetable gardens at the expansive estate about 14 miles southwest of Monsaraz include one dedicated to edible flowers. Fish, such as pike-perch, are sourced from Alqueva Lake, grilled and served with migas, a traditional bread-centered accompaniment. At São Lourenço do Barrocal, another estate that’s about five miles west of Alqueva Lake, lunch can be enjoyed on a rear patio facing olive groves and a spacious lawn flecked with boulders.
