Portugal: Portugal tour
Proud independence, that is the leitmotiv of the age-old history of
Portugal
. Situated on
the southwestern part of the
Iberian peninsula
, the border with
Spain
has remained
unchanged for about 800 years. The rural provinces in the north are
still very traditional, as opposed to the
Algarve
in the south,
which in the meantime has been transformed into a modern holiday
resort with its beaches and its mediterranean climate. The two most
important cities of
Portugal
,
Lisbon
and
Porto
, rank high in the list
of the most beautiful towns of
Europe
. But
Braga
and
Coimbra
are hardly inferior to
their bigger sisters. In the eastern part of the country magnificent
examples of medieval walled towns on mountaintops dazzle the eye. On
the west coast of
Portugal
lovely
beaches and seaside resorts draw the attention of ever more foreign
tourists. Our film will show you the ropes in this splendid holiday
spot.
