Facing west over the Atlantic Ocean, and sharing a land border with Spain, Portugal is a once great colonial power that still holds influence over many parts of South America, and Africa.
Modern Portugal is a country that attracts visitors by the planeload, all of them eager to discover the rich history of the cities, and relax on the long sandy beaches of the beautiful Algarve.
Boasting a good year round climate, any time is a good time to visit the country, whether it be for a short city break seeing the sights, and soaking up the unique culture in Lisbon or Porto during the spring, or a longer holiday relaxing on the Algarve with the family in summer. Portugal has long been a very popular winter sun destination and with a large community of Ex-Pats investing in property in the country, and attractive low season rates during the winter, Portugal's coastal areas are ideal for getting away from the cold wet winters of Britain.
You can always get cheap deals on flights to Portugal throughout the year, and once there, the hotels are often surprisingly cheap too and there are frequent special offers, particularly outside the main holiday periods. The cost of living in the country is far lower than in the UK, which means that a short break in Portugal can be very good value in comparison to many other places.
