PORTUGAL HIGHLIGHTS

MAJOR CITIES Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra, are some of the major cities in Portugal worth a visit. Driving around the country is easy, there are motorways or country roads linking all the interesting cities and smaller towns full of history, with great restaurants, usually full of locals who will always be so happy to advise you on the best food to taste, how to taste it, and the local wines to go with it. The people are welcoming, English is widely spoken, and in case you do not understand them they will speak louder and gesticulate until you eventually understand.
