ortugal’s lesser-known regions offer year-round fun for families looking


for active pursuits in nature, without the crowds. Its verdant islands are a paradise for nature lovers, such as in Madeira, dotted with historic hiking trails taking in waterfalls, viewpoints and lush forest. Meanwhile in Azores, visitors can dip their toe into one of Portugal’s most popular sports: surfing.
