Europe still has genuine unspoilt areas and Portugal is one of them, where sunshine likes to linger on and the simplicity of its people is in direct contrast to the arrogant beauty of its landscapes. The country displays an array of quaint little villages and ports, and lively markets all turned towards fishing and agriculture.
Through the years, Portugal never lost anything from its splendour (the times when new worlds were still to be discovered) and the wealth of its cultural and artistic heritage is here to prove it.
Portugal is one big celebration all year round and invites you to join the dance and go wild to the rhythm of traditional music or relax to the melodious sounds of melancholic fados. It is a place that will never leave you indifferent through its traditional and generous cuisine where food is served with flavoured wines and the hospitality of the Portuguese people which remains unequalled.
Situated on the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula, Costa da Lisboa is stretching from Ericeira to Sesimbra, revealing its charms in and around the City of Lisbon. A most dreamy location set in luxuriant vegetation benefiting from mild weather conditions.
Two of the most well known Portuguese resorts can be found in the area: Estoril and its casino and Grand Prix race track; Cascais, better known for its little fishing port.
Walking along the Costa da Lisboa, you'll come across large beaches stretching as far as the eye can see. All types of watersports can be practised here, with Ericeira as the meeting point for every surfer around the world.
Discover a region known for its warm welcome and sea food, fish and crustacea gastronomy with a particular mention for 'Cozido', a kind of stew enjoyed by the locals.
Come and celebrate the sea and the sun in lovely surroundings, dancing the night away to the sound of a music you will never forget.
