We can also introduce you to the UNESCO-listed centre and port wine cellars of Porto, Portugal’s handsome coastal city on the banks of the Douro, and the charms of the surrounding countryside with its sprawling vineyards and olive groves. You’ll also want to make time for the whimsical, pastel-coloured palaces of Sintra, the Roman ruins of Braga and the well-preserved medieval architecture of Guimaraes.

And no visit would be complete without hopping over to Madeira to enjoy its sub-tropical gardens, pebbly beaches and spectacular walks along the levadas. With afternoon tea on the terrace at Belmond Reid’s Palace proving to be a fine way of relaxing and gathering yourself for the evening ahead.
