Traveling in Portugal is far from the new, chic trend. Travelers, both well-intentioned and otherwise, have been visiting Portugal and the Iberian peninsula for centuries.
The Celts, the Visigoths, the Romans, and the Moors have all traipsed through and left their marks. What they left behind is a marvelous collection of medieval towns, clifftop castles, monasteries, and no less than 15 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Combine that with some spectacular natural scenery and you have one of Europe’s most enchanting destinations, not to mention one of its best travel bargains.
