WHY PORTUGAL
Portugal has forged ahead since its sleepy fishing village days. With enchanting cities to shimmering beaches you are bound to have an amusing and gratifying experience making your way through this country of discovery.
Portugal is located in southwestern Europe on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula belonging to the European Union. It’s bordered to the north and east by Spain and to the south and west by the Atlantic Ocean and the Portuguese archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira. Continental Portugal comprises of five regions: North, Centre, Lisbon, Vale do Tejo, Alentejo and the Algarve.
You won’t have a problem filling up your itinerary in this compact destination; it might be considered a small country by some but a nation is great not by its size alone. Include a visit to one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world whilst in Porto, (said to have inspired the Hogwarts Library) gasp at unusually decorated palaces in Sintra, be mesmerized by the Village of Monsanto in Alcains but don’t get freaked out by Portugal’s Chapel of Bones in Évora!

From the latest upmarket restaurants to local “tascas” (traditional Portuguese restaurants), a taste- bud- tingling experience is sure-fire. The menu is never-ending including but not limited to: Bacalhau – salted cod, cured meats, each region’s specific bread and cheese and the world famous Pastéis de Nata is sure to satiate any craving. The country is famous for its fortified wines such as Port and Madeira and continually produce great tasting, high quality wines with shockingly low prices. Stop It I like IT!
From the thrusting streets of Lisbon and Porto to the plunging seaside resorts of the Algarve, Portugal has a vivacious nightlife scene. At the core of Portugal’s musical tradition is the distinctive song form, fado – pop in for a live performance at one of the country’s wonderful Fado bars. Madeira (The Ibiza of Portugal) attracts a more mature clientele with fine food and wine and landscapes to compliment the gourmandise.
