Climate - Weather
Summers are hot and dry
throughout Portugal, particularly in the Algarve
which experiences very little rain. However
refreshing sea breezes make for pleasant conditions.
Winters are cold and wet, particularly in the
northern and west coast regions. Spring and autumn
are good times to visit with cheaper rates at hotels
and less crowded beaches, restaurants and golf
courses.
Discover Portugal
An independent kingdom since 1143, Portugal established its continental
frontiers in 1297 and is one of the oldest nations in Europe.
Situated on the west side of the Iberian Peninsula, its geographic
location along the Atlantic coast soon determined its vocation to the
sea.
In 1415, the Portuguese set sail on an epic voyage that would make them
the first 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.
Traces of this worldwide historic presence may be seen as trademarks of
the Portuguese genius. The Portuguese language became one of the most
widely spoken in the world, and the Portuguese people were privileged
for being exposed to so many different civilizations. The vast
monumental, artistic and archaeological heritage does witness not only
the 850 years of history of encounters with distant cultures, but also
the presence in the territory of more ancient peoples (Celts, Suevians,
Visigoths, Romans and Arabs).
The natural advantages of a sunny country with such diverse geographic
features have turned Portugal into a chosen destination for many
holidaymakers, an ideal place for practicing water sports and playing
golf, offering modern tourism facilities, and quaint and personalized
means of accommodation, such as ‘turismo de habitação’ (privately owned
homes ranging from wonderful farmhouses to manor houses), ‘hotéis de
charme’ or ‘pousadas’.
A
member-country of the European Union since 1986, Portugal currently
enjoys a steady economic growth. For centuries Portugal has kept the
greatest treasure of a renowned reputation for hospitality that makes
the country a haven of congeniality and safety.
