Porto wine, surfers, Christiano Ronaldo, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, night life, and amazing architecture. By these words one can easily characterize Portugal. This land is still bit forgotten as it neighbors Spain. And it shouldnt. Once you go here, you will be happy to return here at some point. Many travellers love to visit the island of eternal spring – Madeira. The island is also beautiful. However, our photogallery takes us somewhere else. We take a look at the romantic town of Sintra, Coimbra with its universities, Porto which is the home of wine and, of course, to Lisbon.
