Introduction to Portugal
The western most country in continental Europe, Portugal is an amazing place of: murals, mosaics, cathedrals, castles, palaces and people. Dive into a sailing adventure in the Algarves and lounge around in sunny Lagos, or head inland to explore the tranquil river life along the Roman Bridge in Taverna. Head north to the polychromatic facades of Lisbon, explore a cultural parade of palace paths and red brick lanes. Succor a glass of dulcet molasses with a heavy syrupy drink of Port, prepared in the city of its naming.
Portugal is engulfed by Spain but it is not cowed, it is surrounded but not surrendered; Portugal maintains a unique culture, a musical language and distinctly sunny demeanor. Famed historically as a nation of seafarers, of adventures who sailed bravely into the unknown, it is no surprise that these expert seaman marked their compass course and always aimed for a return home; Portugal is simply not the type of place you would abandon for anything else. Next time you're in the Iberian Peninsula, don't forget that Spain isn't the only primo real estate in town, Portugal is passionate, pristine and perfectly ready to welcome your visit.
