Serpa

Serpa lies along the western hinterland of the Guadiana River, where the broad plains of Baixo Alentejo extend toward the Spanish border. Sections of medieval wall still enclose its historic centre, while the castle and Clock Tower recall the town’s former importance as a fortified frontier settlement. Whitewashed houses, narrow streets and a 17th-century aqueduct give the centre a distinctly Alentejan identity. Serpa is also celebrated for Queijo Serpa, a protected sheep’s-milk cheese traditionally curdled with cardoon flower. Fields, olive groves and pastureland define the unhurried rural setting beyond the walls.
