About
Portugal, especially beyond its cities, is a country dreamily contemplating its powerful past while enjoying the present with just a touch of gentle ruefulness. It is filled with bustling cities as well as charming countrysides. Portugal is a land of great natural beauty and terrain so varied that there is no one typical Portuguese landscape. Sun-starved northern Europeans flock to the sophisticated resorts on the sunny beaches of the Algarve and Estremadura. Its islands include the Azores, a paradise in the Atlantic, and the semi-tropical island of Madeira.

Overheard
“Madeira, Portugal ... It boasts the world's best year-round climate, spectacular hiking, biking and, yes, Madeira's famous wine. In May, the islands are a virtual botanical garden.”
“Don't miss Miramar Beach in Porto at sunset. A quick train ride out to the coast, Senhor da Padra (literally, the chapel in the sea) is one of the the most magical things I've ever seen.”
