Portugal

Bordering Spain, Portugal is a beautiful, diverse country to visit and enjoys over 300 hours of sunshine a year. It benefits from two gorgeous coastlines, the rugged Atlantic running North to South, dotted with unspoilt sandy beaches and the balmy Algarve, home to some of the world’s most prestigious golf developments, set amid breathtaking cliff-top scenery and a warm southern wash.

Driving inland, Portugal’s eclectic countryside is revealed in lush vineyards and sprawling olive groves, with small medieval villages that time forgot dotted throughout. Eccentric Lisbon and the historic north are rich in culture, expounding strong maritime, ecclesiastical and literary traditions. Meanwhile Porto and the fertile Douro Valley present an interesting past with a long history of Port production and English influence. The food all across Portugal is wonderful, with the Algarve in the south being particularly famous for its fresh fish and seafood, sandy coves and sporting activities. Portugal is a perfect destination for so many kinds of holiday.
