Summer trip during my sabbatical. This is designed as a roadtrip from Lisbon up to the Douro Valley, skipping Porto (because we'd rather spend more time in wine country.)
Thank you for writing such a beautiful report on my country. I also just got back not even a month ago and I can't wait to go back, maybe Ill go as early as this summer :)I might visit some of the places mentioned. Tx
Any other ideas I will be visiting in April?? I will be there for 8 days and was wondering where to go. This has been really helpful. Oh yeah who did you book the hotels through?? I need all the suggestions possible! Thanks
This is a very good report and I recommend a little extra by visiting Alcobaça,Nazarè & Queluz which can be enjoyed in a one day trip from Lisbon.(Car or bus tour) Lisbon itself is magic for "the past". Oh and don´t forget Fatima for those whoare interested.
I have never been to Portugal.Even though I am first generation born Portuguese American to parents from Portugal.They spoke it and we kids never learned.Back than immigrants just wanted to simmilate.But I love to go and will, after seeing these beautiful photos...it is definitely a part of my heart and soul.We ate cod fish all the time, I love it, have you had fried codfish balls.Made with cod and mashed potatoes.Part of my heritage that I have to go see with my own eyes.Thanks again for shwoing the beauty of simple Portugal. from a Portuguese girl!
