Like the drink
that bears its name, Portugal is best savoured slowly. In the north you’ll find
remote country retreats, the vineyard-dotted slopes of the Douro Valley and the
UNESCO world-heritage site of Oporto. As you head south, there are historic
cities such as Coimbra and Lisbon to discover, as well as lesser-known gems
hidden in the countryside. Finally, you reach the sun-strewn Algarve with its
African influences, world-class golf and spas.
An intoxicating blend of fine dining and sightseeing, historic charm and catwalk cool.
Portugal
is known for its summer sunshine when its beaches and al fresco restaurants are
at their most inviting. But away from prime tourist season there’s still plenty
to see and do. In the spring, wildflowers and almond blossom burst into life.
In the autumn, the cooler weather is ideal for exploring historic sights. And,
while the winter can be rainy, it’s a great time to experience the festive
celebrations and cosy up with a glass of something special.
