Earthquake hits popular tourist region of Portugal

A 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck Algarve, Portugal's popular tourist region, today.

The country's Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) confirmed the seismic tremor, which was felt in the cities of Lagos and Portimao.

Its epicenter was located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 70 km from Cape St. Vincent.

Portugal, particularly the southern region of Lisbon and the Azores archipelago, lies within an active seismic zone that marks the boundary between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Despite this, seismic activity has been relatively low recently. /CNA
