Portugal - small but full of wonderful surprises, the perfect country for a touring adventure.
Portugal, small but endlessly captivating, rich with delightful regional contrasts, is the ideal destination for an wonderful touring holiday.
Watered by four grand rivers; the Minho and the Lima in the verdant North of Portugal, the Douro, home to world’s oldest wine region, and the mighty Tajo, once the exciting gateway to foreign lands for the country’s most famous navigators, forming boundary between Central and Southern Portugal and flowing out into the Atlantic at Lisboa.
From World Heritage Lisboa, Porto, Guimaraes, magical Evora and the monumental towns of Estremadura, to ancient hilltop settlements and obscure farming villages, tradition and modernity work harmoniously side by side.
With delicious local gastronomy, superb wines, atmospheric markets, hauntingly melancholic Fado, it is the genuineness of the gentle, tolerant and hospitable people which will win your hearts.
