Sharing the Iberian Peninsula with Spain, although culturally quite different, Portugal is a country with a pleasant Mediterranean climate, a close affinity with the sea and a history of exploration and colonial conquests. Despite having much to offer visitors, the majority of its land has failed to attract holiday makers until fairly recently when it began to open itself up to those realising that there was much more to it than just the culturally diluted resorts of the Algarve and Madeira.

Portugal is easily accessed by the majority of its visitors with the capital’s Aeroporto de Lisboa providing the major gateway in and out of the country. Road access is available from Spain which means you can reach the country by either bus (Eurolines) or private/rental vehicle. Rail connections are maintained with both Paris and Madrid making it possible to travel all the way from London via the channel tunnel.
