• self-guided walking breaks in Portugal
• New Year breaks in Madeira
Our short breaks in Portugal are like a Porto city break and a short walking break rolled into one – over the course of just three days, you can explore Porto’s labyrinthine streets (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), experience one of Portugal’s most picturesque rail journeys, and enjoy a scenic walk amid the timeless, and very colourful, landscapes of the Douro Valley.
Alternatively, if you like to start each year in style (and in the sunshine!), then our New Year breaks in Madeira are ideal.
