Europe is endowed with great tourist riches. While Italy and France has long been the yardstick through which the beauty of the continent is measured, Spain and Portugal cannot be left behind. Portugal is one such beautiful country meant to awe the tourists from all over the world.

Portugal feeds on Tagus River. The Algarve beaches are a delight for tourist fraternity and Pico Island is a treat for those not suffering from vertigo. The archipelago of Azores is a visual treat and the soft blue and turquoise water full of aquatic fun create an ambience of pastoral vanity. Portugal has a diverse fauna and flora which makes for further tourist intrusions (in a welcome way). Those bent towards architecture will find the Manueline a tremendous example of art. Even the Portuguese cinema is a vanguard of cinematic tradition lined by legends like Arthur Duarte and Pedro Costa. None can beat the Portuguese pastry and sandwiches. Codfish is a staple.
