COMPORTA – A PROTECTED NATURAL REGION:
Comporta is commonly known as its surrounding region, called Herdade da Comporta. This region is located between the Sado estuary and the ocean.
Pego, Carvalhal, Brejos, Torre, Possanco, Carrasqueira, and Comporta are among the seven hamlets that make up the 12,500-hectare estate.
This region is particularly well maintained, partly because it is largely classified as a ‘highly protected nature reserve’, but also because it belongs to the large banking group Espírito Santo.
Thanks to that, this part of Alentejo remains surprisingly unspoiled and pristine.
