Last week the Eloura Journeys team were treated to an update on a destination we all think we know well - Portugal... Let us take you beyond the well-trodden paths and iconic cities, into the heart of authentic culture, hidden gems, to discover captivating stories and diverse regions.

Porto and the North unveils Peneda-Gerês National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve blending dramatic granite peaks, lush forests, and hidden waterfalls. Stay on a vineyard estate in the Douro Valley or the Vinho Verde Route with panoramic views or a mountain retreat where we can arrange guided foraging walks.

Just 40 minutes from Lisboa lies Mafra — a destination often overlooked, yet unmatched in grandeur, the Palácio Nacional de Mafra, a monumental Baroque masterpiece that rivals Europe’s great palaces. The coastal town of Ericeira has a laid-back surf vibe, perfect for ocean views, cobbled streets, and excellent seafood.

Half way between Lisboa and the Algarve, Alentejo is a land of rolling plains, cork forests, pristine coastline, and historical towns where time slows down. Get ready to explore this region’s rich culture, culinary delights, and boundless outdoor activities. The farm-to-table philosophy allows you to enjoy local lamb with wild herbs, olive oil and ancient “vinho da talha” — wines fermented in clay amphorae.

And of course, the sun-drenched Algarve... we'll show you beyond the crowded beaches and allow you to discover the 37 mile coastal ecosystem of Ria Formosa, the Roman ruins and old town of of Tavira with its artisan workshops, azulejo-clad façades, and family-run eateries. The scenic hills above the coast hide boutique wineries offering exclusive tastings of robust reds, crisp whites, and delicate rosés, perfectly paired with locally crafted cheeses and premium olive oils.

The colourful archipelago of the Azores Islands offers jeep tours through rugged volcanic landscapes or kayaking on emerald and sapphire lakes. Madeira has a wild soul waiting to be discovered, with lush scenery, whispering waterfalls and emerald pools, as well as some of the best dive sites in Europe.

If you would like a tailor‑made Portugal escape, with handpicked luxury hotels and unique experiences in each region, let Eloura Journeys take care of every detail for you.
