Since Portugal is so compact, it's easy to take in something of each of its
elements. Scenically, the most interesting parts of the country are in the north:
the Minho , green, damp, and often startling in its rural customs; and the sensational
gorge and valley of the Douro , followed along its course by the railway, off
which antiquated branch lines edge into remote Trás-os-Montes . For contemporary
interest, spend some time in both Lisbon and Porto , the only two cities of
real size. And if it's monuments you're after, the centre of the country - above
all, Coimbra and Évora - retain a faded grandeur. The coast is virtually continuous
beach, and apart from the Algarve and a few pockets around Lisbon and Porto,
resorts remain low-key and thoroughly Portuguese, with great stretches of deserted
sands between them. Perhaps the loveliest are along the northern Costa Verde
, around Viana do Castelo, or, for isolation, the wild beaches of southern Alentejo
