Portugal's Lesser‑Known Coastal Towns Spotlighted as New Travel Hotspots

Two recent travel guides highlight a range of Portugal’s lesser‑known seaside destinations. One guide lists seven off‑the‑beaten‑path locations, focusing on Setúbal’s historic centre and nearby Arrábida Natural Park, the award‑winning Praia dos Galpinhos, the 13‑km Tróia peninsula sand stretch, and the surf‑friendly town of Lourinhã with its Praia Areia de Branca and Drop‑In Surfcamp.

The other guide offers ten reasons to visit Portugal, featuring the iconic Benagil Sea Cave on the Algarve coast, Faro as the gateway to the Ria Formosa wetlands, the nation’s acclaimed golf courses around Lisbon and Espinho, and Lisbon’s historic Feira da Ladra flea market.
