    Awesome. here is my plan.
    I arrive to Lisbon and stay there for 5 days.
    I'd love to see Porto and other great places north of Portugal, but I only have 3 weeks. So I decided this time I'll explore south.
    So I'll be traveling all the way south in a rented car.
    The stops I'll be making:
    1. Sines
    2. Sagres
    3. Lagos
    4. Albuferia ( 3 days )
    5. Faro
    6. Tavira ( maybe )

    after that I am heading to Spain:
    1. Huelva
    2. Seville
    3. Tarifa
    - I'll take a day trip to Morocco: Tangier
    back to Seville,
    maybe stop in Badajoz,
    after that back to Lisbon and will stay few more days there.

    I am excited to visit Portugal.

    • Nice break!microkorg
    • nice!Krassy
    • Nice! The route down the west coast from Cadiz to Tarifa is beautiful. Badajoz, from vague memory, is a 'bit' barren.detritus
    • just need to stop half way to Lisbon from Seville.zaq
    • Albufeira though? You sure?!
      I loved that place when I was a 12-16 year old, but as an adult..?

    • you suggest avoid that? I do not knowzaq
    • Read some reviews - it's decades since I was last there. 'The Strip' is full of Northern Euros getting shitfaced. Coast is quite nice though.detritus
    • got it, thankszaq
    • You're heading to all the most crowded tourist spots.dmay
    • Faro / Tavira = skip those. Olhão better. Fuseta beach not bad - long, no shade, but no rocks, good for a swim.shapesalad
    • I am open for recommendations in the Southzaq
    • skip Sines. all of these little places are excellent: Pessegueiro / Vila Nova de Milfontes / Zambujeira do Mar beach / Arrifana / Praia Da Bordeira ...shapesalad
    • ... Praia da Cordoama. Inland these are worth a stop: Aljezur / Monchique / Alteshapesalad
    • If you drive from Lisbon to Sines, go to Setubal and cross the Sado bay to Troia using the ferry and drive by the coastdmay
    • Lagos is ok as base for Burgau / Praia Dona Ana.shapesalad

    • book your car with these guys, collect it from the BP petrol station opposite airport: https://www.echorent… They are well priced and don't scam.shapesalad
    • I ♥ QBN.
      Thank you guys, you are awesome

    • If you need any specific info when you're here, help, translation, just bump this tread ;)dmay
    • I'd suggest making a stop for the day at the Alhambra in Granada. It's one of the coolest places I've ever been - will blow your mind!davey_g
    • shapesalad knows what he's talking about. I also visited Sines and was extremely disappointed. As for Albufeira I would totally avoid it.oey
    • do as Dmay says cross from Setubal but don't do it at night, it's fucking confusing all those horrible resorts and golf places in Troia.oey
    • +1 Davey_G - Granada in General is beautiful. Also, Ronda's worth a visit.detritus
    • Get your tickets for Alhambra before heading there... also great buys on leather all in the south of Spainrobotron3k
