Cheap holidays to Portugal offer an extensive, rich history, despite being one of Europe's smaller nations; its influences remain world reaching, effecting large countries such as Brazil and India. The country spearheaded the exploration of the world, with explorers such as Vasco da Gama and Cabral at the forefront of this new age.
The main tourist airport is Faro International, situated on the Algarve, near the Spanish border. A 30 to 90 minute transfer would be enough to take you to most of the major tourist resorts. All holiday resorts have a varied choice of accommodation ranging from self catering apartments, hotels offering bed and breakfast or half board to the increasingly popular all-inclusive.
