The 2010 annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is out; and it features, for the first time, Portugal as backdrop to some of the most beautiful women and alluring bathing suits in the world. The Swimsuit Issue is the highest selling edition of any magazine on the planet, with more than 60 million readers. And, the producers chose Portugal for 2010 because of its amazing beaches, historic monuments, and its wine industry.

In the 2010 edition, the models were photographed in and around Lisbon.
The Portuguese capital, Lisbon is a city with more than 20 centuries of history, built on several hills at the point where the River Tejo meets the Atlantic Ocean. For almost the entire year, a bright sky lights up the modern and cosmopolitan city of Lisbon, which has long inspired writers, photographs and filmmakers. The natural beauty of the city matched perfectly with the elegant models.

The shooting sessions continued in the lively and sophisticated Estoril Coast, well know by their beaches perfect for practicing water sports. Another session took place on Portinho da Arrábida beach. A bay with white sand, framed by the green of the mountains of the Serra da Arrábida Natural Park, where many rare and very ancient plant species are to be found. Not so far away, in Azeitão the models were photographed in one of the finest renaissance Palaces in Portugal – Quinta da Bacalhoa, also famous for its wines.
