Portugal Holidays | Cheap Portugal Hotels

Portugal shares the Iberian Peninsula with the country of Spain.

Geographically and culturally somewhat separated from its neighbour, Portugal offers a rich, distinctive heritage, vibrant towns and cities and stunning country side.

Even though it was once one of the poorest nations in west Europe, the ending of dictatorship and intro of Democracy in 1974, as well as its consolidation into the EU in 1986, has implied considerably increased wealth.

Portugal holidays offer some of the best value anywhere in the world and is consistently ranked as the best value for money in Europe.

You can easily take a trip in a single day from green mountain ranges in the North, covered with vines and all types of woods and bushes to rocky hills, with amazing slopes and falls in the Centre., to a near-desert scenery in the Alentejo area and lastly to the stunning seaside region of the Algarve. We have put together some fabulous 3 star holidays to the Algarve.

The weather, combined with investments in the golf structure in latest years, has also transformed the country into a golf location.

Portugal had recently been called "Best Golf Destination 2008" by people of Golfers Today, a British publication.
