Located in southwestern Europe, Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are also part of Portugal. During the 15th and 16th centuries, with a global empire that included possessions in Africa, Asia, and South America, Portugal was one of the world's major economic, political, and cultural powers. Nowadays, Portugal is one of the world’s leading destinations for health and wellness tourism. The country benefits from its climate, large beaches, mineral and medicinal water properties, natural thermal baths and recent investments in hotel/resort spas.
