Europe still has genuine unspoilt areas and Portugal is one of them, where sunshine likes to linger on and the simplicity of its people is in direct contrast to the arrogant beauty of its landscapes. The country displays an array of quaint little villages and ports, and lively markets all turned towards fishing and agriculture. Through the years, Portugal never lost anything from its splendour (the times when new worlds were still to be discovered) and the wealth of its cultural and artistic heritage is here to prove it. Portugal is one big celebration all year round and invites you to join the dance and go wild to the rhythm of traditional music or relax to the melodious sounds of melancholic fados. It is a place that will never leave you indifferent through its traditional and generous cuisine where food is served with flavoured wines and the hospitality of the Portuguese people which remains unequalled.
