Who pays for this site.
Portal Turismo Portugal is free for travellers. It is paid for by agreements with seven companies, most of which you already know. Here they all are, how they work and what none of them can buy.
- The same priceYou book on the partner’s site, at their price.
- Zero adsNo page carries third-party advertising.
- Beaches stay out of every dealNobody pays for a place on our lists.
The companies we have agreements with
One of our links, opened up.
When you click a booking button on the site, the link carries two extra pieces of information: who sent you and which page you came from. The price is not in the link. Pick a partner to see.
Where it goes
Stay22, which opens Booking.com around the beach.
Who sent it
aid=kaptarstudio is the site’s code. That is how the partner knows who to pay.
Where it came from
campaign says it came from the guide, on the Benagil card. It tells us which pages help.
What it does not carry
No price, discount or personal data. The price is what the partner shows everyone.
Price in the link: none
<a href="https://www.stay22.com/…" rel="sponsored noopener">See hotels nearby</a>
Every partner link is marked as “sponsored”. It is the official way to tell Google and other search engines that a link is commercial. And every booking block says, under the button, that the commission costs you nothing.

Straight answers
Do I pay more if I book through the site?
No. The price is the partner’s, the same whether you arrive through the site or go direct. The commission comes out of the partner’s side.
Can I book without using your link?
Yes. Use the site to choose and book wherever you like. We only earn when the booking goes through our link.
Why these partners and not others?
They are large companies with public reviews and good cancellation terms on many bookings. If a partner stops serving travellers well, it comes off the site.
Who is behind the site?
Portal Turismo Portugal is a Kaptar project, run from Portimão in the Algarve.
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
