Portugal - Land of seafarers and dream beaches

The former stronghold of seafarers lies to the west of Spain in the Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic coast. You can spend a wonderful holiday by the sea in Portugal. The stormy Atlantic attracts thousands of surfers to Portugal every summer. The fantastic beaches on the coast and on the islands of the Azores and the Madeira as well as the warm, dry climate with a light breeze both promise hours of relaxing sun bathing on the beach. A holiday to Portugal would not be complete without a trip to Lisbon. This is the biggest city in Portugal and lies in a bay at the mouth of the River Tagus where it flows into the Atlantic. Discover the dreamy Mediterranean old town of Lisbon, visit the Catedral Sé Patriarcal as well as the impressive Jerónimos Monastery. You should also not miss the Padrao dos Descobrimentos as a monument to the discoveries of the seafarers in Lisbon. It is also worth making a trip to the Castle of Guimaraes and to the place of pilgrimage at Fátima which is located inland in Portugal.
