The history of Portugal is rich. The country was one of the greatest European powers from the 15th century onwards, thanks in particular to its fleet of ships. Its famous navigators ⛵️ brought undeniable historic prestige to the country. Vasco da Gama was the first European to reach India by sea routes (1498). Ferdinand Magellan meanwhile supposedly completed the first world tour (1519-1522) passing through the south of <a href="kavval://countries/e090efb1-aa93-4b86-87ad-ab81a9e23be8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chile</a> and Tierra del Fuego... Truly unforgettable in History! Oriented towards the Atlantic 💦, Portugal is organized around its capital <a href="kavval://cities/a03cb509-ac1c-472d-8dfd-8eb27606d1cc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lisbon</a> and the economic hub of Porto. The two most important cities in the country compete not only in football! We won't decide here between these two <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">coastal</a> cities, it's all up to individual tastes 😁. What is certain is that they both have incredible charm 😍! Of course, we invite you to discover, always with moderation, Port wine, whose vineyards flank the Douro Valley, a river that originates in <a href="kavval://countries/1f42f9da-f693-4bc9-96de-bb6e531060a7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spain</a> and flows into the Atlantic... at Porto. The north of the country is quite mountainous while the center and south are more suited to agriculture, with large expanses of plateaus and plains. Different island areas are also notable, such as the entire <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/fbc1bf98-8684-4431-a77a-c75bbbaac2dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Azores</a> and Pico Island, which houses the highest peak ⛰ in Portugal, Mount Pico (2,351 meters). The country has a unique way of life and its people have a great sense of hospitality... So, pastéis de nata or bacalhau? 😋 You'll decide on the spot!You can find the entire race calendar here in&nbsp;Portugal. <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walking</a>,&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/baaef010-e9a4-4bab-9564-803d2d9d4f29" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">half-marathon</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a>, the birthplace of&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo ⚽️ is generous, you'll surely find your happiness.

The bay of the Portuguese capital is timeless... Still in Lisbon, this time on the paths along the Tagus River, the <a href="kavval://events/f936e644-0e83-4229-93d8-1872327d36c1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ultra Maratona Caminhos Do Tejo</a> offers its competitors two courses, both counting for the <a href="kavval://events/6bf47aa3-2939-4186-89bf-1ade262fe679" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB</a>.

Distrito do Porto

Porto is much more than just a city where you sip wine on a terrace overlooking the Douro. It's a natural playground for all who love to run, sweat, and push their limits... all within a postcard-perfect setting. Here, between cobbled streets, towering cliffs, and endless vineyards, every step feels like an adventure!If you're ready to challenge your legs, Porto is your new favorite running ground. Start leisurely along the docks of the <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribeira_(Porto)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ribeira district</a> to warm up by the Douro, before tackling the serious stuff: a climb up to the <a href="https://www.visitportugal.com/en/node/135585" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clérigos Tower</a> or a sprint up the Escada dos Guindais steps (there’s also a funicular for those less brave). Prefer to run with the wind in your hair? Head over to <a href="kavval://cities/ff70a5da-604c-429f-ab0d-6667e1c9c41d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matosinhos</a> for a jog along the Atlantic Ocean. Between the sea breeze and the cries of seagulls, you'll feel like you’re in a movie... (we can't guarantee a record time, though).If you're a running enthusiast seeking challenges in the district's capital, here are three events you can't miss. The <a href="kavval://events/821c49cb-c923-4946-a252-e9ba982a98e5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Porto Marathon</a> invites you to tackle the queen of distances through city streets and along the Douro’s banks, with a finish that almost makes you forget the pain. 42 km is a lot, but don’t worry, you can also take part in the <a href="kavval://events/339aff52-7366-4bc4-9cb8-7a1b34ea8bb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Porto Half Marathon</a>. If you want to combine competition with holiday magic, the <a href="kavval://events/59280a2a-f509-4313-a321-fce9570d7487" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">São Silvestre Run</a>, held in December, lets you sprint under Christmas lights (we can't promise you'll meet Santa though).Nature lovers will be thrilled in the Douro Valley and the <a href="https://www.visitportugal.com/en/node/156081" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peneda-Gerês National Park</a>. Here, terraced vineyards and granite mountains create a breathtaking yet challenging landscape. With endless climbs and technical descents, you might rethink your choice of footwear. Here are three must-try events. The <a href="kavval://events/25f4db68-33d7-4726-a01d-ff50842ecdd8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TransPeneda-Gerês</a> takes you on rugged trails through unspoiled nature, among crystal rivers and spectacular viewpoints. For long distance fans, the <a href="kavval://events/514427b3-bea4-4684-bb27-82a42845c6f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ultra Trail do Marão</a> puts your legs to the test with tough climbs, but the effort is well rewarded with panoramic mountain views. Finally, if pure adventure is your thing, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trailnoturnodomineiro" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail Noturno do Mineiro</a> is the race for you (don’t forget your headlamp!).After punishing your legs on trails or steep streets, it’s time for the real reward: gastronomy! A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesinha" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Francesinha</a>, an ultra-gourmet take on a croque-monsieur with meat and cheese sauce, will restore your strength (and make you feel guilty before your next run). Don’t leave without tasting a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">glass of Porto</a> at one of the city’s many wine cellars. For the more moderate, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastel_de_nata" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pastel de Nata</a> with a good coffee will do just fine.So, when are you coming to lace up your sneakers in Porto? Promise, between the effort and the reward, you won’t want to leave! 🔥🏃‍♂️
