Portugal offers the traveller a fantastic array of holiday options.  For buzzing city life the sloping streets of the Alfama & Bairo Alto in LIsbon resound with the sound of Fado and the smells of spicy colonial cooking.  On the Algarve, sandy white beaches stretch for miles and in the interior, the rural areas of Alentejo and its wineries and rolling hills offer a peace and quiet from the buzz of daily life.
