Discovering Lagos and the Beja district in Portugal, where the winters are milder and the scenery is stunning. Enjoy hidden beaches, medieval villages, and Roman ruins, all with fewer tourists in winter.
Since moving to Portugal four years ago, I have come to appreciate the milder winters and the opportunity to enjoy Christmas in warmer conditions. Several spots in Portugal offer a more relaxed and less touristy experience, including Lagos and the Beja district. Lagos , with its picturesque old town and hidden beaches like Praia do Camilo, stands out.
The Beja district, in the Alentejo region, provides a better balance between locals and tourists, with its medieval village of Monsaraz and Roman ruins of Pisões. Faro, while popular, especially among British expats, can get crowded during summer, but visiting in winter allows you to enjoy it in a more peaceful setting with added benefits of lower prices and fewer tourists. This season, you can still explore the Benagil Caves via a boat tour
