Portugal: Country Overview

Hike through olive groves; laze on long sandy shores; visit historic villages; surf along Atlantic waves; eat custard tarts sprinkled with powdered cinnamon. One of the oldest nations in Europe, Portugal has a rich history which can still be explored in the intriguing towns and churches that are dotted across its varied landscape. The north has lush valleys, vineyards, Baroque mansions, and spectacular scenery in the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres. The Beiras region presents a white-sand coastline along the Atlantic, forest-clad mountains - and includes the ancient university town of Coimbra. Lisbon, the capital since 1255, is a city of fado music and seafaring history, and features winding medieval streets and buildings of crumbling grandeur. On the golden plains of the Alentejo are wealth of atmospheric castles and fortress towns. In the south, the Algarve boasts orange groves, rugged cliffs and fabulous beaches. Portugal's hostels offer accommodation - and a range of activities - in the most enticing parts of the country.
