PORTUGAL has the Algarve, along the southern coast, now easily reachable by car from Lisbon over the recently opened Salazar Bridge. The chic people have begun to flock into two new ocean-view luxury hotels in Praia da Rocha and Portimào. The beaches and water are superb, the prices are reasonable, and there is a new 18-hole golf course, which will host this year's European Ladies championship. Another "find" this year will be the island of Madeira, 535 miles southwest of Lisbon; it has always had splendid accommodations, but its new airport opened 18 months...

Early this year, Delgado and his attractive Brazilian secretary, Arajarir Campos, vanished from his home in Algiers, reportedly to meet with anti-Salazar conspirators in Spain. Except for a few postcards, the last one mailed from the Spanish town of Badajoz on the Portuguese border, Delgado was not heard from again. Last month, two small boys passing through a eucalyptus grove near Badajoz stumbled upon two shallow graves, one containing the corpse of a man whose face and fingers were disfigured.
