Shown are some of the places we will visit over the course of the next months. Portugal has about the same area as Ireland. The northern half of the country is somewhat rugged; but south and east of Lisbon it is mostly rolling farmland with low hills as far as the Algarve. Climate varies according to location: there are great variations in rainfall from place to place and month to month, but you’ll only find neve (snow) in the dictionary. The Algarve, where daytime temperatures rarely fall below 14C (57F) in the Winter or exceed 24C (77F) in the Summer, boasts about 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. It has miles of unspoiled nature, gorgeous beaches, almond and orange groves, excellent golf courses, great weather, a reasonable variety of accommodations, and low prices. Sunsets are spectacular!
