- Go on a sunset sailing trip next time you're in Lisbon
- Or head to the Atlantic to cruise around Madeira and the Azores
- Sail to the Ilhas Selvagens to truly get away from it all
Have you ever considered sailing in Portugal? The country offers so many sailing opportunities, both along the Atlantic coast of mainland Portugal and around its remote offshore islands,
Madeira and the
Azores. Let's start with
Lisbon, the Portuguese capital - you can make your Lisbon break even more unforgettable with a sunset sailing trip along the Tejo river!
Porto offers similar opportunities (with the added benefit of port wine tastings) or you can head to the Douro river for a full day wine tasting and sailing experience. But what if you're after a
multi-day sailing adventure? One option would be heading to the
Algarve, the wild coast in southern Portugal -
Lagos and
Faro are the ideal places to begin a
cruise around this spectacular part of the country with its famous cliffs. Alternatively,
why not head to Portugal's Atlantic islands? Madeira is famous for its
spectacular diving while the Azores further north offer stunning volcanic landscapes and hiking opportunities - or you can keep heading southward from Madeira to the remote
Ilhas Selvagens, inhabited only by birds.
Why not choose Portugal for your next sailing adventure? You won't regret it, that's for sure!
