Holidays to Portugal
Why Portugal?
Algarve is your best bet if you’re looking for a dramatic coastline with its golden sands, and hidden coves worthy of a pirate’s treasure. This spot is perfect for trying your hand at some watersports, from scuba to surfing and everything in between. But for that famous rock formation, you’ll want to head to Ponta da Piedade in Lagos — this cliff-like arch is one of the most photographed in Europe.
Culture vultures will want to take a city break to Lisbon, where it’s warm all year round and the architecture is beautiful. Hang-out in the old town where the streets transform at dusk; boutiques become bars while the sun sets over the pastel panorama. You’re sure to find a 1,000-year-old monastery sitting pretty next to mom-and-pop restaurants and cafes in Porto. The city is sure to fill your camera roll with its winding streets, colourful houses, and breathtaking river.
Even though it’s over 1,000km away from the mainland, Madeira is one of Portugal’s best features. This volcanic island is on the up-and-up on the holiday scene thanks to its year-round warm weather, dramatic landscapes, and a calendar chock full of fiestas. Its biggest celebration is New Year’s, which has had Guinness World Record status four years in a row for the biggest fireworks display. The waters are great for surfing, scuba diving and dolphin and whale-spotting — there are about 20 species out there. But if there’s one thing not to be missed in Funchal, it’s the famously fun wicker basket racing where you can reach speeds of 30mph!
