Portugal is a beautiful country, with amazing beaches. This does not mean you can‘t have fun in Winter. As long as there is snow, winter sports are available in Serra da Estrela.
Additionally we suggest a visit to the islands. Madeira is one of the most famous. With tropical weather, it has become a famous destination between erasmus since low-cost companies started flying there. Surf is available during all year, with winter giving you more challenging waves and cold water but also cheaper prices on renting surf material.
Summer
If you like sun, you are in the right country. Summer usually starts in the end of May and lasts until the end of September. When the temperature reaches 25ºC Portuguese people start going to the beach. Algarve is the most touristic place, however it does not mean it has the best beach. Peniche, Costa da Capica, Figueira da Foz or Porto Covo are also between the best beaches in Portugal.
