Portugal & Madeira

Portugal is one of southern Europe's favourite holiday spots, renowned for glorious year-round sunshine and delightful sandy beaches. Inland, quaint villages barely touched by tourism, with traces of Moorish architecture still intact, punctuate the landscape. Back at the coast, whitewashed towns and luxurious resorts hug the cliffs. Sporting facilities here are excellent: tennis, horse-riding, all kinds of watersports and possibly the best choice of championship golf courses in the world! Take your family, your friends or your loved one and enjoy the wonderful hospitality of Portugal, just a short hop from the UK.
