| An independent kingdom since 1143, Portugal is one of the oldest nations in Europe. Many ancient peoples have passed through this land including the Romans and Arabs, making for an interesting history and many ancient sites to see. With exotic spices such as coriander, saffron and ginger introduced to Europe by Portuguese seafaring explorers, remember to taste the hidden delights of the local cuisine. Visit the exclusive coastal enclaves of Cascais and Estoril for some fine dining or spend a night at the casino. Enjoy the beaches and seafood restaurants at Setubal and Sesimbra, and of course, play some great golf on the stunning coastal courses along the Atlantic. |
