Nature Plays with Lovers on Portugal's Most Wildly Romantic Beaches

On a typical Alentejo farm estate near the unspoiled beaches of Portugal's St. Vicente Coast, a stunning landscape crossed by river waters encircles a beautiful wedding chapel. On that same estate reigns Santiago do Cacem, a Portuguese regional pousada, with terraced gardens and a swimming pool where a former watering reservoir once was. Worthy of artist's brush and palette, the wildly beautiful St. Vicente coast lures newlyweds and long-wedded honeymooners to romantic Portugal for passion and play.

Guests of the Santiago are invited to try any number of Portugal's endless outdoor activities. Rabbit and hare shooting, sea and dam fishing and bird watching quietly beckon outdoor lovers. Young adults enjoy the thrilling challenge of ocean windsurfing and board surfing, four wheel driving and motorbiking, and paintball wars. Donkey cart and carriage tours and romantic riverboat cruises please honeymooners of all ages, and the estate's pool and gymnasium keeps everyone in shape.

Santiago's menu features regional mariner's specialty of dogfish soup appetizer, codfish in a coriander marinade or leg of lamb roasted on a pot entrees, and lemon pudding dessert.
