"Portugal"


North Portugal family holidays and golf tours are the Speciality:

Portugal
was founded as a nation in 1143 and is therefore one of Europe's oldest countries.

In 1415, the Portuguese set sail to discover the ocean routes to India, Brazil, China and Japan, and at the same time founded settlements on the east and west coasts of Africa. The Portuguese language became one of the most widely spoken in the world. Even now some 200 million people speak the language worldwide.

The vast monumental, artistic and archaeological heritage gained in Portugal over the years, was affected by ancient cultures of the Celts, Sumerians, Visigoths, Romans and Arabs.

With so much history on your doorstep, it is no wonder the City of Oporto in the north of Portugal, was elected the European Capital City of Culture".

Since becoming a member of the European Union in 1986, the country saw remarkable economic performance, structural change and rapid growth, before adopting the single currency (euro) in 2001.

Portugal is the westernmost country in Continental Europe, with Spain on the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean on the south and west.


A population of 9.5 million, enjoying a mild climate, without extremes of weather.

A country with 850 Kms of Atlantic coastline, Portugal boasts about its variety of different beaches and many awarded with the EU Blue Flag

A paradise for many Golfers, with courses in different and breathtaking landscapes.

In the North you can enjoy natural landscapes of exuberant green, co-existing in perfect harmony with a truly remarkable historical and cultural heritage.
