Portugal occupies the southwest part of the
Iberian Peninsula and shares borders in the
north and the east with Spain, while to the
south and west lies the Atlantic Ocean. The
country is divided into various provinces,
including the Atlantic islands of Madeira and
the Azores; the latter lying some 1220km (760
miles) due west of Lisbon. The Douro, Tejo and
Guadiana rivers flow across the border from
Spain. North Portugal is mountainous, the
highest part being the Serra da Estrela, a
popular area for skiing. South of Lisbon stretch
the vast plains of the Alentejo region. A range
of mountains divides the Alentejo from the
Algarve, which runs along the south coast, and
is one of the most popular resort areas with
wide sandy beaches and attractive bays.
