Portugal

Once overlooked in favour of Spain, Portugal has become one of the most visited countries for UK holiday seekers. The Algarve to the south is home to top golf resorts, luscious beaches and hidden coves, whilst Porto, Lisbon and smaller towns and villages offer a sense of traditional Portuguese culture with a mix of modern living.
