Photos of Portugal, the land of great discoveries

Lisbon is both diverse and unconventionally beautiful. Its pastel houses covered in tags and its unbridled nightlife are reminiscent of Havana; its blue waters, trams and bridge are reminiscent of San Francisco; its chic boutiques and rehabilitated docks are reminiscent of London, while the Alfama has an air of a North African medina. All aboard!

From Funchal to Santana and as far as Porto Moniz, join us for an adventure on this enchanting island, a little paradise in the Atlantic: a wealth of flowers and tropical fruits, mild air and sea temperatures, natural swimming pools, walks along the levadas and a rich heritage. And don’t miss the famous Madeira wine!
