Hello, Central Portugal is lush and green. Full of forests, hills and vales. Little troubled with tourists, who, in the main, want pubs, clubs, shopping and beaches yuk. There are hundreds of small rural villages to explore, with views to die for. The roads can be virtually empty. The people are kind, generous and work extremely hard to live. The small towns have everything required, including market days. If people could just stop a minute, searching for that materialistic thrill all the time and slow down. Central Portugal is the place. I could go on and on, but I dont want to encourage you all here do I.
