Spain- El Palmar de Vejer
In Spain 🇪🇸 about 40 minutes from Cádiz, you’ll find El Palmar de Vejer a small beach town that’s dormant in winter, mainly the locals enjoy pink-washed sunsets and scintillating swells – the ultimate surfers paradise from October until May. In the summertime it is bubbling with people to soak up the Andalusian sun, beautiful beaches, and delightful tapas. It’s a perfect getaway location to relax after an incentive program in Seville for instance.
Portugal – Porto
Portugal has a few locations on Forbes selection, starting with Porto as publishers stated, “If you have not had the pleasure of visiting Porto, it’s a must-add to the travel list”. The city pops up from the banks of the Douro River, Porto has an edgy yet sophisticated appeal that entices with its historical center, mouthwatering food, and divine wines from the region. You can easily have an incentive program in the city and have the Douro Valley as an add-on to your event.
Portuguese 🇵🇹 archipelagos of Madeira and Azores
Then, we have the Portuguese 🇵🇹 archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, very distinct destinations with phenomenal beauty. Madeira Island can be seen as the Hawaii of Europe with mild weather all year around. This island is known for the Levadas (irrigation channels with easy trails through the landscape), hop on the cable car visit the botanical garden and then take the thrilling toboggan ride downhill to Funchal. Finally, must taste the Madeira Brandy or even rum that’s only produced here!
The Azores, is on the opposite side of spectrum, a truly fascinating natural beauty, take their sustainability seriously and delicious to explore. São Miguel was the chosen island on Forbes selection, with stunning views that can be seen by hiking Sete Cidades and Miradouro da Lagoa do Fogo, due to its passed volcanic activity you’ll find a series of hot springs to relax in and can’t leave the island without tasting “Cozido das Furnas”. These locations are perfect add-ons to your incentive program in Lisbon or Porto.
