I went to Portugal when I was a kid, but don’t remember much from the trip, so, I wanted to revisit the home of the man responsible for discovering a way around the Americas, which later lead to Trade routes with the west. It's amazing that so much of our global exploration can be attributed to this small European country. The Purtuguese contributions to navigation and exploration was crucial to our global history.
I logged on to my favorite site, global-escapes.net to see what availability there was. We ended up getting a hotel in Lisbon, a city that is circled by neighborhoods with a medieval charm that were originally a fortress. There are monuments everywhere and with the ports and marinas, water sports are quite popular. This was an amazing vacation for us with plenty to see - and definitely ranked high on my list of favorite global escapes.
The landscape of Portugal changes from high, sweeping cliffs to white sand beaches as you near the coastal regions. The villages on the coasts were fought over with the Moors during the crusades. The city of Estoril is a popular tourist area because of the casino, golf course, and racing track. We also visited Santarem, a castle of Roman origin that over looks Portas do Sol; which translates to Sun Gates.
