Directory
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.
