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..?detritus - 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 awesomezaq - 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
