Fancy spending a few days in harmony with nature? Escape from stress and rediscover your inner balance? Well come to Portugal and relax!
Portugal has a wide array of natural settings, where you’ll discover that it’s easy to forget about your everyday concerns. From North to South and the Atlantic islands, numerous Nature Reserves and Parks harbour enchanting secluded spots and rare species of fauna and flora, at easy reach via signposted paths.
If you have sufficient energy and an adventurous spirit why not try a little bit of mountain climbing. Ascending to Portugal’s highest peak in the island of Pico (Azores) to watch the sunrise is a truly unforgettable experience! And in the Serra da Estrela, the glacial valleys and lagoons form breathtaking scenarios, ideal for pedestrian walks and rides on all-terrain vehicles. In the region of Lisbon and the Alentejo, the gentler lie of the land makes it easier to discover a highly varied landscape.
But if you simply want to stay put, why not choose one of the thermal springs or spas. Install yourself in one of Portugal’s excellent hotels and enjoy our famous hospitality. These pure leisure spots located in the Norte and Centro regions, in extremely beautiful settings, will guarantee your well-being. In the Algarve and Madeira, thalassotherapy centres and spas offer relaxation programmes that will leave you on cloud nine.
With your body and spirit refreshed you’ll be able to return home - ready for the challenges of a new year at work. But don’t forget to come back. In Portugal, we’ll always keep a special place for you! |
