With year-round sunshine, the Algarve can be enjoyed at any time. Travel in spring to see the headlands lit up with wildflowers, in summer to relax on the beaches, or in autumn when thousands of birds pass overhead as they migrate south for winter – a season that brings its own special serenity to the Algarve.

To set the scene, you begin with a night in Porto, friendly capital of the port-wine trade, before exploring the timeless landscapes where the wine originates, thus also showing the great contrast between the bustle of the historic sea port and the slow, traditional ways of life upriver.

Madeira is remarkable for two reasons: the levadas (waterways) carved into the slopes, and the abundance of both familiar and exotic flowering plants. Some of the flowers, such as the Nile lily, have been deliberately planted by the levadas, serving to make these waterways.

Highlights include wide, sandy beaches, the windswept Cabo de São Vicente headland, the striking rock formations at Ponta de Piedade, and Rocha Negra viewpoint. With plenty of secluded coves along the way, too, this walking holiday is all about soaking up the views, leisurely swim stops, and delicious seafood lunches.
