Where can I go and what can I do in Portugal?
If you are still thinking about where on Portugal you should travel to and you worry about the impacts of modern day’s tourism, we have compiled a list of websites where you will be able to find ecologically respectful options that will certainly fit your needs, desires and tastes.
Do you like the beach or do you favor visiting museums? Do you like your holidays to be active or do you prefer to just sit and relax? We have it all in Portugal and you will feel really welcome, no matter what you prefer to do or to what part of our country you choose to travel.
The Azores, for instance, was distinguished by the Green Destinations website as the Most Sustainable Destination in Europe in 2014, two other Portuguese destinations made it to the top 10 and another 3 beautiful Portuguese places are among the world's top 100.
Portugal is, in fact, a very small country however, we have such variety in landscapes, culture and activities that you will be amazed.

Where can I eat in Portugal?
Now, for the yummy part...
Vegetarianism and veganism is universally growing, probably due to a higher food and environmental awareness.
With this, the industry and commerce began to be more aware and thoughtful and you can find several options for eating of shopping worldwide.
However, sometimes, these options are not properly advertised and you end up ruining what could have been the perfect vacations because you couldn’t find a good place to eat.
We have compiled an extensive list of restaurants that are Vegan, Vegetarian or Veg. Friendly and you can find them in each region specific post . We truly believe you will have good eating experiences while in Portugal, however, if you need, the Restaurante Terra has made a small dictionary for Vegans and Vegetarians. Also, most of the Portuguese traditional food has meat or fish, but among the side dishes you might find some delicious surprises.
Some franchisings will supply you with good veggie and vegan food and they have several stores spread through Portugal.
