About Lisbon
Lisbon is a city of great character and endearing charisma. Located in a hilly region at the mouth of the Tagus, the city retains an old world flair with cobbled alleyways in Alfama, the old town. Competing with the elegant avenues of Alto where sorrowful "fado" music fills the evening air is the Chiado, Lisbons affluent shopping district.
Lisbon Attractions
Don't miss the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, or Jeronimo's Monastery. Commissioned in 1501 after Vasco da Gama's return from his voyage, this remarkable monastery is a beautiful and unique example of Manueline architecture.
Lisbon Activities

Visit Sintra, considered one of the most beautiful palaces in Portugal. It was once the summer residence of Portuguese kings and aristocrats.
Walk through the charming village of Fatima, where numerous sightings of the blessed Virgin Mary have been reported.
Porto is one of the last undiscovered European metropolises,but is increasing in popularity.
This is an ancient port steeped in history and tradition. It is a highly atmospheric place that has become known for its monuments by renowned architects (Gustave Eiffel's Dona Maria Bridge, Nicolau Nasoni's Clerigos Tower, Rem Koolhaas' Casa da Musica, or Siza Vieira's Serralves Museum),
This major seaport, the largest city in Asturias, is an industrial and commercial center exporting large quantities of coal and iron. It has steel, iron, chemical, petroleum, glass, and food and tobacco industries. Of pre-Roman origin, Gijon was one of the first places recaptured from the Moors early in the 8th cent. The city flourished under the first Asturian kings. In 1588 the defeated Spanish Armada took refuge there. Of interest are Roman baths; 14th-, 15th-, and 16th-century palaces; a 15th-century church; and several 17th-century mansions.
Gijon Attractions
A hike up the hill and through Cimadevilla leads to Cerro de Santa Catalina. It is a park on the tip of the pennisula that provides a view of the outstretched coastline forming the port. On the very edge of the penisula is a sculpture the size of a house, Eligio del Horizonte, or Praise of the Horizon. It is one of 16 large sculptures placed in public spaces throughout the city over the last decade.
It was from the tiny harbor on this remote island that Columbus departed in 1492. Take a scenic drive along mountain roads decked with laurel trees en route to the National Park of Garajonay. This unique forest relic is home for rare birds and subtropical plants.

Sixty-one miles up the Garonne River, lies the port of Bordeaux, the capital of France´s wine country. The Romans were the first to introduce grapes into the region, and by the 14th century Bordeaux was producing over one million cases a year. Journey through the hilly countryside to the picturesque village of St Emillion and taste the wines that have made this region famous.
Bordeaux Attractions
Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and wine châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the wine-making process - from growing the grapes to the harvesting, fermentation and bottling of top-quality wines. The city’s single most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of the region’s prestigious wines. Many travelers come here for the single purpose of visiting the cellars of esteemed châteaux and sampling the product. However, one has to keep in mind, that the title "château" can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of wine châteaux scattered through the countryside, ranging from very modest family establishments to celebrated properties – but all are dedicated to producing the area’s renowned wines.

Grand Théâtre - Facing the Place de la Comédie stands this neo-classical theater. Its elegant exterior is ringed by graceful Corinthian columns and pilasters.The theater was the hub of 18th-century Bordeaux.
Aquitaine Museum - This imaginatively laid out museum is well worth your visit. An interesting variety of exhibits cover the main facets of the region’s development. Drawings and writings on the period illustrate why 18th-century Bordeaux was often compared to Paris.
Musée des Beaux Arts - Behind the luxurious Hôtel de Ville (city hall), this fine art museum has an impressive collection of 17th-century paintings by Flemish, Dutch and Italian masters as well as works by Delacroix.
