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.
Come be a part of the celebration in Portugal.
