TUIAbout Portugal
Portugal is a popular holiday destination, offering a combination of golden beaches, dramatic scenery, world-class golf courses and around 300 days of sunshine a year. The Algarve region is a great place to explore, with lively towns and sleepy fishing villages, while the island of Madeira is known as the Floating Garden for its botanical gardens. Porto Santo is a lesser-known gem, with a 10-kilometre-long sandy beach and the charming town of Vila Baleira.

If you’ve already read my Porto post, you might enjoy this Lisbon city guide. I wanted to go to Portugal badly, but couldn’t choose between the two cities, so I spent two nights in each, travelling by train from Porto to Lisbon. Here you’ll find information about Lisbon hotels, what to do, where to eat and drink and other useful information if you’re planning a short city break....
Porto city guide
12th March 2018 by The Daily S'elf
Over the last couple of years there’s been a massive increase in interest for Irish tourists travelling to Portugal.

Keen to find out for myself what all the fuss is about, when I was approached by SuperValu to collaborate on some content surrounding their Real Rewards...
