Portugal - our
chosen areas
Our extensive programme to Portugal stretches from the Minho
and Trãs os Monte districts of Northern Portugal to the Monchique
hills, sun drenched beaches and whitewashed towns of the Algarve.
Europe’s westernmost country is a laidback, relaxed and friendly land.
Its people are warm and charming, and the roads and towns, largely,
calm and uncongested. Historical and archaeological sites stand
side-by-side with open countryside, extensive vineyards and forests,
and a long and varied coastline.
Northern Portugal
Blessed with some of
the most spectacular
scenery in the country –
lush countryside, terraced
hillsides adorned with
Port wine estates, rugged
mountains and long
sandy beaches.

Centro – the heart
of Portugal
A rich heritage of fortified
towns and castles, idyllic
villages with slate-roof
houses painted in white
and ochre and a world
of Roman columns and
mosaic pavements as
found in Conimbriga.

Algarve
Think of the Algarve...
mile upon mile of golden
sand beaches interrupted
only by craggy outcrops
of rock. The land of the
Moors and their intriguing
legacy is evident in local
architecture, music
and language.
