Flights to Portugal

Mention the words ‘flights to Portugal’ and chances are it’s the Algarve that springs to mind. From its much-photographed coastline to its timeworn fishing villages, it’s been tempting tourists for decades. Factor in a platter of freshly grilled sardines from a beachside barbecue – possibly with a glass of ‘vihno verde’ – and you’ve got a great choice for a sun-and-sea break. The pristine beaches are loved by adults and children alike, and have helped this stretch of coastline become an English favourite that rivals the neighbouring Spanish Costas. Our flights here travel direct to Faro Airport, which is just a short drive from the line-up of close-to-the-sand hotels and golf courses. Another popular choice is the Portuguese island of Madeira. It’s one big botanical garden, bursting with sub-tropical flowers and towering laurel-clad peaks. And the capital, Funchal, is a ridiculously pretty pocket. Aside from being the home town of international football star Cristiano Ronaldo, it also boasts a panoramic cable car and a culture-stuffed city centre. Monochrome buildings clash with purple bougainvillea, chic boutiques line wide lanes, and yachts bob in the harbour.
