Unusual holidays in Portugal
Our Portugal unusual holidays might mean burnishing green credentials at eco retreats dropped into Portugal's most beautiful spots, from the history-laden green hills of Sintra National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site dotted with fairytale palaces) to secluded solar-powered hideaways in the mountains of central Portugal where you stay in yurts. Or make things memorable with unique activity combinations, combining yoga with the likes of surfing or tango.
