The Algarve may be best known for its long, hot summers and glorious beaches but make no mistake, there is more to see and do here than lounge lazily on the sand and soak up the sun. The scents, the sounds, and the foods are the real takeaways here.
Plains extend as far as the eye can see; stretching from the mighty Tejo (Tagus) River towards the Algarve and framed in the east by the Sao Mamede mountains on the Spanish border. This is the Alentejo.
Most travelers who visit Portugal get to see Lisbon and Porto, but what about the hidden gems...These lesser-known attractions go beyond the popular tourist destinations to get to the heart of Portugal.
