There were many reasons for this, but predominantly there is a good choice of budget airlines to Portugal from almost anyway in Europe. Many visitors focus on the Algarve region, where there are so many sandy beaches along the Algarve coast for families to enjoy their holiday. When you see the sign "Praia" this actually means "beach" in Portuguese. Beaches in Portugal can vary, from small sheltered coves or endless stretches of wide open sandy areas.
