The province of Alentejo is the country's largest; it stretches from the south of Beira Baixa to the north of the Algarve. Open countryside scattered with a few villages of white houses lies to the west, and mountain landscapes to the right. The region beyond the River Tagus lives on agriculture and supplies almost the whole Portuguese wheat market. It is also on these plains that the cork oak is cultivated and used to make wine bottle corks amongst other things.
