Looking for romance, discovering culture, living adventure, relaxing? Indulge yourself with a holiday to Portugal. It is a mountainous country with an unpolluted environment. Its pure and well preserved landscape boasts dense forests and rocky outcrops. Take seven days to discover the longest stretches of beaches in Portugal, along the coast of Aveiro, Figuera da Foz and Leiria – wide beaches bordered by dunes and pine groves providing shelter. In Aveiro, delight in the colours of the city and the white of the salt production areas in the Ria, with all the colours of the bobbing moliceiros (traditional boats for collecting seaweed), and don’t forget to try the ovos moles (a sweet egg-based dessert) wrapped in wafers and shaped into marine forms.
Take a swim in the clear blue water of the beach at Sao Jacinto in the middle of Sao Jacinto Native Reserve (protecting the dunes) or visit and spend a day exploring the architecture of Portugal. The monastery at Alcobaca is a wonderful example of Gothic design, while the one at Baltalha, built in the Manueline style, is equally awe-inspiring. In the North Baroque dominates, but you’ll also marvel at the Palace and the Convent of Mafra, near Lisbon. And last but not least everywhere you go in Portugal you’ll see traditional blue and white ceramic tiles.
