PORTUGAL

Portugal has so much to offer — and it's not just the mainland. The islands deserve just as much love. ​Take the Azores. A tiny, magical scatter of islands in the middle of the Atlantic that left a real mark on us. A place where the weather changes by the hour — "four seasons in a day" isn't a cliché, it's just Tuesday.​ Then there's Madeira, where we spent a whole winter month, slowly working our way through everything the island had to offer.

 

On the mainland, there's a lot of ground to cover — from the sun-soaked coast of the Algarve to laid-back surf towns, buzzing cities, and quiet villages further inland. So far we've explored a slice of it, but something tells us we're nowhere near done with Portugal.
