Monsaraz
A walled hilltop village in Portugal's Alentejo region, Monsaraz sits above the Guadiana River near the Spanish border and deep in one of the country's most celebrated wine areas. Its compact central core holds cafés and restaurants, and the village's compact medieval streetscape makes it a strong draw for photography. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
