Portugal, the land of Fado
In the south of Europe, sharing its border with Spain, lies Portugal, a country with Mediterranean accents, even though it has no opening onto the Mare Nostrum. This land of 91,906 km² is a land of contrasts, where centuries-old cities with walls steeped in history have sprung up. An oceanic land par excellence, Portugal's 850 km of coastline is a delight for seaside tourism enthusiasts. But beyond its rich history and beautiful scenery, what most characterizes this destination is its fado. Born in working-class neighborhoods in the 18th century, this melancholy music is Portugal's best ambassador. Everywhere in the country, from small neighborhood restaurants to prestigious concert halls, the melancholy voice of a fado singer is accompanied by a musician playing a twelve-string guitar. You don't need to speak Portuguese to appreciate and feel all the emotion that accompanies fado.

If there were only one city to visit in Portugal, it would be Lisbon, the country's capital. Straddling past and present, Lisbon's neighborhoods exude a special aura that leaves no one indifferent. The Alfama district, with its narrow streets often leading to hidden courtyards, is a veritable maze where it's good to get lost. If you're feeling lost, let yourself be guided by the melancholy songs of the fado, or the delicate aroma of grilled sardines emanating from the traditional taverns. As you stroll through Alfama, you'll also discover picturesque grocery stores with azulejo-adorned facades. Bairro Alto, the nest of night birds, is a must for all night owls. When the sun goes down, urban music resonates in this mecca of Lisboan entertainment.
For history buffs visiting Portugal, Porto is a must. Your strolls along the city's narrow pedestrian streets will take you past Baroque churches and centuries-old squares. Crossing the historic bridge, you'll arrive in the Ribeira district, where you'll have the chance to visit the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, the home of port, the emblematic beverage of the city and Portugal. After Porto, take the road to Évora, Portugal's best-preserved medieval city. Around its 14th-century ramparts stand architectural marvels that transcend time, such as this cloistered cathedral. The area around Évora is also dotted with mysterious megaliths that raise many questions. What were they used for, and when were they built?
No trip to Portugal is complete without a visit to the Douro Valley, the country's wine-growing region. Here, you'll visit centuries-old vineyards and taste some of the country's tastiest wine. You'll visit villages of undeniable charm, such as Lamego and its ancient monuments, whose most worthy representative is undoubtedly the Cathedral and Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies. The nearby chapel of São Pedro do Balsemão is also well worth a visit. This 10th-century edifice, built with materials dating back to Roman times, is a symbol of the country's centuries-old past. To round off your stay in Portugal in style, take to the island of Tavira to enjoy the pleasures of the sea in an unspoilt setting. If you like surfing, head for the Algarve region, where there are numerous surfing and windsurfing spots.
Portugal is at its most beautiful when the sun is shining. To make the most of the sun and the Portuguese landscape, plan your trip between April and October. At this time of year, temperatures are mild and the sun shines brightly, perfect for voyages of discovery. If your main reason for coming to Portugal is to enjoy the beaches and the sun, the ideal time to plan your trip is during the summer, i.e. between July and September.
