This tiny country between Spain and the sea, known for its traditional agriculture, fishing communities, cosmopolitan, bustling cities, and jet-setting coastal resorts, offers a variety of experiences of the senses.

We will spend an evening listening to the beautiful husky music of “fado” while sipping port; a day exploring Portugal’s most spectacular religious sanctuary, “Bom Jesus do Monte” with its 18th-century giant baroque stairway; and a night at Pousada Serra da Estrela where a log fire and stunning views over the snow-capped mountains greet us. From Lisbon to Oporto, Oliveira, and Evora, architectural, historical and cultural treasures await us on this unforgettable sojourn into the very heart and soul of ancient Portugal.
