Algarve

Algarve

In southern Portugal, the Algarve stretches 150 kilometres of limestone cliffs, the Ria Formosa lagoon and schist mountain ranges between Sagres and the Guadiana River.

Alentejo

One-third of Portugal for just 7% of the population: cork oak plains, Roman Évora, Alqueva's starry nights and the wind-swept Vicentina coast.

Porto and the Douro

Porto and the Douro wine valley, 200 km of terraced vineyards on schist slopes UNESCO-listed, where Atlantic city meets continental hinterland.

Lisbon and Sintra

Seven hills above the Tagus, Pombaline and Manueline quarters, and 30 km away the wooded microclimate of Sintra with its romantic palaces perched on the serra.
