Portugal - Travel Guide

Portugal – the land of voyagers and discoverers – far beaches and melancholic music holds a special spell with visitors to this day. 

The country, which received its name from the settlement of Cale in the Delta of the river Rio Douro, lures beach and sportive vacationers from around the world.  The region of the Algarve in the south of the country, with its jagged cliffs and beautiful coastal scenery, along with hidden coves and spectacular beaches is a prime vacation area.

From sun-bathing to water sports – both can be perfectly combined in the Algarve.  Aside from water sports, there is hiking, mountain climbing, or a ride in a hot air balloon.  And with a little luck, vacationers will see dolphins, not just from the air, but close up and personal. 

Exciting and adventurous leisure activities are no rarity in this country.  Those who don’t enjoy the bull fighting, which is still an attraction in several cities, can enjoy a motorcycle ride along the curvy hills of the countryside, or try themselves in white river rafting or canoeing.  Some may enjoy the opportunity to ride at one of the many equestrian centers or view the scenery from the back of a horse.

The less known, green northern part of the country is more traditional, but is also becoming more popular with tourists.  Better known with tourists is the life and culture of the large cities of Porto and Lisbon. The vivid past of the voyager people is found there, as well as throughout the country and carries a rich history in its palaces, churches, and the customary tile mosaics (Azulejos). 

Mondego is home to the university town of Coimbra; it is one of the oldest universities in Europe and the most important city in the Beira Litoral region. It majestically occupies the highest hill in the city, bearing symbol to the terrace layout of the town beneath.

The numerous Pousadas should be experienced.  These are state-run buildings which serve as tourist hostels.  They are a pleasant change to the modern buildings of the tourist resorts.
