They are small villages, authentic fairy tales that are located next to the Spanish border.

The Historical Villages of Portugal, are considered one of the most beautiful in the country and are the result of several generations of kings who, concerned with the defense of the territory, took charge of populating and fortifying that region.

Thus they were born next to these places whose nature is of undeniable beauty: Castles, churches, chapels, monuments and more recently, interesting museums that portray the rich material and immaterial heritage of the region.

Visiting the Historical Villages is a dream of a different and peaceful tourism.

Street art has long been a part of Portuguese culture, and after the democratic revolution of 1974, this artistic form of expression rapidly increased. If you are looking for cutting-edge street art, you will most definitely find it in the mesmerizing country of Portugal, especially in Lisbon, one of the European epicenters of the street art movement.

A lot of time passed since the city council of Lisbon realized that good-quality street art can be an asset. The city’s liberal regulations toward street art and its efforts in making abandoned buildings available to artists resulted in an unparalleled enthusiasm for urban and street art. Walking through the streets of Lisbon and Porto it appears like every surface displays a portrait, image of an animal or a stenciled message.
