The people in Portugal are among the most hospitable in the world, and they have plenty
to offer their visitors. From this country's rich, colorful history to its beautifully
varied culture, Portugal is truly unique.
Even before it became an independent kingdom in 1143, Portugal embraced its relationship
with the sea. Since ancient times, the Portuguese have been world travelers, bringing
back influences from India, Brazil, China, Japan and Africa. The result is a people
and culture that's as diverse as the landscape.
Albufeira, for example, reflects North Africa with its steep streets and sparkling
beach. This bustling resort town in the southern part of the country boasts excellent
restaurants and lively markets. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a relaxed, amiable
lifestyle indicative of the region.
Portugal vacations are full of sunshine, exhilarating water sports, excellent golf,
fabulous sightseeing and endless glimpses into ancient history. Here, life is savored,
not rushed. Traditional festivals (especially at Carnivale and Easter), give the fun-loving
Portuguese ample opportunity for merriment.
