Portugal
With a strong maritime history, Portugal reflects those elements with modern aspects. The Atlantic coast is lined with beaches, fishing towns, and the cliffs of the Algarve. Lisbon and Porto, the main cities, offer historical architecture, Fado music, and an art scene. The country's seafaring past influences its culture and food, including seafood and Port wine. The Douro Valley is known for its vineyards, while the Azores and Madeira islands show Portugal's volcanic and subtropical diversity.
The country also features vineyards and medieval villages, providing quiet experiences. Festivals like Madeira's Carnival and Porto's São João reflect its community spirit. Portugal combines its beaches and ancient cities, inviting exploration of its landscapes, traditions, and the hospitality of its people.
