Portugal

 The best of Portugal is here--from the splendidly old-fashioned to
the exotically modern: the luxury of a palace in Lisbon, a rustic
farmhouse in the Alentejo, or a west coast fortress engulfed by
crashing waves. Sip coffee with your head among the figs, your feet
in the cork groves, or your eyes on the ocean. Stay in a Pousada, a
funky cottage, an apartment in Lisbon, or a windmill. Each entry has
a “tell-it-like-it-is” Sawday write-up.
