Adventure destination
Portugal
Portugal is stronger for long-distance walking, coastal trails, Atlantic islands, and village-to-village active travel than for high alpine climbing. Madeira, the Azores, the Rota Vicentina, and the Serra da Estrela give enough range for hikers, trail runners, and light winter sports.
