兴趣爱好With over 800km of coast, you can choose between melodramatic cliffs, stellar surf breaks, dune-covered beaches and serene sandy islets; Portugal can afford to be generous with its coastline, so no stretch feels entirely dominated by families, or couples, but a healthy mixture. Beyond the beaches, solo travellers hike the granite peaks of Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês or explore the traditional villages in the lesser-explored Beiras, increasingly on the map for wine-loving or retreat-craving travellers. There are not enough adjectives to describe Luisa ( Portugal) or Ingrid (European Tapestry). They were engaged, friendly, welcoming, encouraging, kind, caring, well-prepared and professional. Luisa deserves extra recognition because despite all the precautions, three of us tested positive for COVID the day before we left Sagres for Lisbon and then home. She was phenomenal in springing into action to help sort out the (at the time) VERY confusing protocols with the country, the airlines and more. Although she had the rest of the tour group to take care of and get back to Lisbon, she continued to call and email to check on me even when I returned home.
