Enjoy a Portugal far removed from the resorts and golf courses of the Algarve. Away from that package-holiday haven, you'll find a country of rugged coastline and mountains, of vineyards and hilltop villages, historic cities and reserved locals, that remains largely untouched by the more extreme excesses of modern tourism.

Our first included excursion takes us to Oporto. The ancient, time-weathered city clings haphazardly to the hillsides above the beautiful River Douro. During the day there will also be a visit to one of the famous wine lodges, and an optional boat trip will also be available.
3
Come with us along the Douro River Valley on today's optional excursion. Visit romantic Amarante and picturesque Mesao Frio en route to the port of Regua, the home of Port wine. We'll visit a working quinta, and have the opportunity to stroll through the estate's vineyards.
4
Discover the delightful and historic fishing towns Povoa de Varzim and Vila do Conde on today's included excursion.
In summer, Povoa's population is swollen by visitors drawn to the sea air and beautiful beaches. A selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants - most serving freshly caught seafood - as well as the well-known Monumental Casino, ensure the town's reputation as a pleasant holiday resort.
After time to explore Vila's colourful market, we'll continue to Esposende, famous for its wide beaches and the 17th-century Fort of Sao Joao Baptista.
4
Join our full-day, optional tour to Barcelos, home to Europe's largest open-air market: a colourful hive of activity offering a huge range of local goods. From there we continue to historic Braga, former Catholic capital of Portugal, to see the fabled Bom Jesus shrine and its marvellous views.
5
The last of the optional excursions takes us across the border into Spain to visit historic and beautiful Santiago de Compostela. At the city's heart is the marvellously preserved Romanesque cathedral - perhaps the first-ever tourist destination for the millions of medieval pilgrims who visited the shrine.
6
Our included tour of the Minho region takes us to Viana do Castelo, on the River Lima, to see the Basilica de Santa Lucia. From here we'll continue to the historic market town of Ponte de Lima, famous for its 18th-century fountain and Roman bridge.
7
Transfer back to the airport to begin your journey home.
