Overview: Portugal's northwestern coast is known as the Costa Verde, and
offers some scenic beaches, albeit with cold Atlantic waters which
make it less popular than the southerly Algarve. The main centre on
this coast is the fish-canning area turned resort town of Espinho,
11 miles (18km) south of Porto, with a long stretch of golden sandy
beach, a casino, bullfight ring, a range of shops, restaurants,
hotels and campsites. The town also boasts one of the oldest golf
courses in the world, dating from 1890.
