Costa Azul

The Tourist Region of the Costa Azul represents 5.6% of the country and 7% of the population of Portugal. Throughout the 5100 km2 the diversity of landscape and the variety of the environment are most notable.

The main reference on the Costa Azul are the people with their habits, roots and culture. Hospitality, warmth, proximity and affability represent a form of life and an attitude which differentiates them within an open and pluralistic space.

The territory of the Costa Azul is a palette of what best exists in Portugal. The spectacular coast and the immense Atlantic, two estuaries with their rivers, mountain and pasture, interior and plains, beaches and sun which accompany and characterize all of the Costa Azul.

Your arrival on the Costa Azul reveals a region of colour, flavours, light, landscapes, and emotion, difficult to describe or explain. Diversity, difference, and surprise are just three of the forms for us to highlight all the possibilities of an area which fuses golf, innumerable opportunities for conferences and meetings, hundreds of gastronomic suggestions, dozens of wines from cellars with a long history, four protected areas, a vast heritage all near to the capital of the country and an international airport with ease of accessibility.
