Due to the mild climate and only a few months of rain, the variety of natural and human environments in a small territory, climbing in Portugal is very pleasant and inexpensive, appropriate for families and friends who also wish to undertake other activities such as going to the beach, hiking, birdwatching, visiting monuments and learning about cultural traditions, etc. Although with no extensive or high cliffs, it is possible to climb in mountains, the coastline, rivers or near rural areas. It is also possible to climb on some beautiful islands of the Azores and Madeira
