The bigness of the historical epoch of the great navigators there is not any more; the colonial empire, arrived up to dawnings of the years '60, is only a memory; but the present Portugal remains a beautiful, rich of history, pleasant and genuine state.
There is not only the continental nation,on the lengthened tip of the Iberian peninsula that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, there is also the insular part with Madeira's islands and the volcanic very beautiful Azores, lengthened in the means of the ocean.
Lisbon is a town of eighteenth-century plant in spectacular position on the huge estuary of Tagus, very pretty, but maybe the glamour of the Portugal must be searched with calm in countries and the small towns of province, in the sweet, very quiet Evora; Tomar; Batalha; Nazarč, Guimaraes and Braganca.
For the beauty of the landscape and the sea is necessary knowing the Algarve and the Azores and the centers of Faro, Lagos and Sagres, the suggestion of the Cabo de S.Vincente, where the Europe finishes in Atlantic and the Terceira Island or the lost Corvo.
