PORTUGAL
Portugal offers outstanding landscape diversity, due to its North-South disposition along the western shore of the Iberian peninsula. You can travel from green mountains in the North, covered with vines and all varieties of trees to rocky mountains, to a near-desert landscape in the Alentejo region and finally to the glamorous beach holidays destination Algarve.
Portugal was sharing with Spain a major chapter in world history with the New World Discoveries and the creation of colonized areas in Africa, South America, Asia, and Oceania creating an empire. Many beautiful monuments in Portugal have been built during this glorious period.
