Hiking
The montado is a unique ecosystem, created by man, characteristic of the Alentejo. It consists of 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. In Portugal, the country with the largest extension of cork oaks in the world (33% of the world's area), the montado is legally protected, with its felling prohibited and exploitation encouraged. Portugal is the world's leading exporter of cork through the manufacture of stoppers.
