Portugal is riding a wave of popularity at the moment, with record numbers of tourists arriving in 2024 and a younger demographic of travellers falling for the laidback charm of its cities and off-the-beaten-track surf beaches. Whether it’s a fishing village on the Atlantic coast, a mountain hideaway in the north or a favourite neighbourhood hangout in Lisbon or Porto, we’d love to hear your Portugal highlights.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
