Country Overview
Portugal is located on the Iberian Peninsula, this sunny, pleasant, and laid-back Southern European country borders Spain and has the feel of a Mediterranean country while maintaining a distinct cultural identity of its own. Portugal attracts visitors because of its unique cuisine, wine, old history, and architecture.
It’s a wonderful mix of old and new with the Gothic churches, ancient cafés, vintage trams, and the charming backstreets of Lisbon, as well as the lively outdoor coffee shops and great restaurants.
In the World Travel Awards 2020, the Algarve was named the best beach destination in Europe for the seventh time. The Algarve is the southernmost area of Portugal and one of Europe’s most popular holiday spots. The province has hot dry summers and short warm winters.
