Golf

Portugal is a paradise for every kind of golfer, for here they will find courses set in all manner of different and breathtaking landscapes. There is an ever increasing supply of golfing venues, with new courses appearing on a cyclical basis. All of them have a high level of aesthetic and logistical quality, being specially designed to satisfy the most demanding golfers - which explains why each year Portugal hosts three important tournaments in the European professional's circuit: the Portuguese Open in the Algrave, the Madeira Open and the Estoril Open.
The establishment of golf as a regular sport in Portugal was directly linked to the creation of the first golf club at the end of the 19th century: the Oporto Nib licks Club. Although the country's first golf course was in fact built by a Scottish hotel-owner at Praia da Rocha in the Algarve, the golf played in Portugal in the first half of the 20th century was basically limited to four clubs. Nowadays, however, there are more than 50 courses in Portugal, whilst there are also quite a few more under construction and several others that are due to open shortly. Come and discover them for yourself!
The Azores is a true paradise for nature lovers. In the fanciful forms of its blue lakes smothered in flowers. In the lofty peaks of its mountains with overwhelming views across the land and out to sea. In the deep verdant craters of its dormant volcanoes. In the breathtaking landscape that has maintained its natural purity. Rediscover a pastoral tranquility, the melody of silence. For holidays that will remain a lingering memory.
