The montado is one of the most emblematic landscapes in Portugal, especially in the Alentejo. It is a unique ecosystem, created by man, characteristic of the Alentejo. These are forests of holm oaks, cork oaks, oaks and chestnut trees, with a very delicate balance and which only exist in the Mediterranean, Algeria, Morocco and especially in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
This multifunctional system has trees as its structural component, with two species of oak standing out: the cork oak and the holm oak. It is around them that this semi-natural ecosystem with high levels of diversity develops.
