PORTUGAL

The beautiful towns of Cascais, Sintra, and Obidos in northern Portugal.

Lisbon is the oldest city in Western Europe, predating Rome by hundreds of years, and it is the second oldest capital in Europe after Athens. While it only occupies about 3% of Portugal’s land mass, more than 25% of the country’s population lives here. It has a population of 550,00 inhabitants, yet it feels much smaller than that. Its moderate Mediterranean climate with warm sunshine-filled summers and mild winters makes it very appealing.

Lagos, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal is a charming town with a magnificent coastline. Beauty is everywhere as you stroll the streets, hike the coastal cliffs, and walk the gorgeous beaches of Lagos, Portugal.
