Guided Springtime Walking
& Sightseeing
in Ericeira, the Lisbon Coast of Portugal
Eight days starting
in Lisbon Friday March 15 and ending Saturday March 23. |
By March, while Canada is still
covered in snow, the green countryside of western Portugal is bedecked with
spring flowers
and the average high temperature is 18C. This holiday offers both
coastal walks and inland walks exploring the footpaths in the verdant Sintra
National Park. One full day is spent sightseeing in Lisbon where we find monuments to Portugal's "Age of
Discovery" as well as castles and palaces.
The holiday is for eight days based in a four-star hotel in the
ocean-front town of Ericeira 45 km north-west of Lisbon.
Seven of the days (March 16 - 23) are an HF walking holiday with one
extra day (March 15) added so the dates fit in with direct
flights from Toronto.
Direct
flights on TAP Air Portugal fly from Toronto to Lisbon Thursday
March 14 overnight and return Saturday March 23 (or you could
extend your stay
in Portugal).

beautiful coastal walks
