Portugal often plays second fiddle to it's Iberian neighbor, Spain, and I don't know why.  While I certainly enjoy the history and varied regions of Spain, I also think Portugal is a country that must not be missed. 

Portugal has its own rich and unique culture that developed in geographic isolation from its much visited neighbor.  This seafaring nation boasts great food, friendly people, and is the cheapest destination in Western Europe.  It is for these reasons that Portugal may well be the best value destination in Western Europe.
 

 
 
 

Your vacation can be as varied as your imagination: with green mountains in the north, rocks slops in the center, near-desert in the Alentejo region, and glamorous beaches in the south.
