Going to Portugal for 10 days

[paulney]

So far on the list is Lisbon, of course, then Porto, Sintra and a bunch of other north towns and spots we have time to hit.

Should be fun!

Planning to rent a car and drive up and down, rather than rely on public transport. Any tips, advice?

maybe don't spend 10 days all in portugal. head over to spend sometimes in Andalusia region in spain

We've been to Spain quite a bit already... But if time permits, and there's _really_ nothing to do in Portugal any more, we'll check it out.

whatever you do, do not damage any of their cork trees.

it will bankrupt the country!

That would be first on my list if I went there.

Of the countries I've traveled Portugal has the worst food. Most of the meals we're really greasy and lacked spicing. But hopefully you'll be more lucky than me in finding good food.
