1 ~~~ Undiscovered Portugal: 7 places to get off the tourist trail ~~~ Rough Guides ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~ Although Portugal is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, it is surprisingly easy to get away from it all and escape the crowds.

Here, Matthew Hancock, co-author of The Rough Guide to Portugal runs down the best places to get off the tourist trail and away from the crowds. ~ ~~ ~~~ www.roughguides.com/article/undiscovered-portugal-get-off-the-tourist-trail/ ~ Updated: 17 January 2017 ~
