Lisbon and the Algarve

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We start in Lisbon, where salty sailors' quarters and wistful fado singers mix with ornate architecture to recall the glory days when Vasco da Gama and Magellan made Portugal a world power. Then on to the Algarve where we explore the Land's End of Europe — windy and historic Cape Sagres — before savoring pristine beaches and arm-wrestling octopuses in the sleepy fishing village of Salema. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #portugal

Thanks to Rick Steves, I retired in Portugal, where the cost of living is lower, the crime is lower, the food is better, the air is cleaner, the people are nicer, the architecture more interesting, the land beautiful. No snow!

Lagos in the Algarve is a must-see; quaint fishing towns and beaches like Ponta de Piedad or Benagil are incredible. Loved my time in Portugal and southern Spain and can't wait to head back to Spain from the US this summer!

Ahh Portugal Magnificent Not just Lisbon Or the Algarve The Alentajano Alantajo Is amazing Where the Cork trees grow Pigs live in huge open fields and feed on acorns >>>The best Pork in the world The hills and mountains Of Monchice beggars belief . All and I mean all of Portugal is magnificent But its the Portuguese people that are the star attraction King Gentle family loving and would give you what they needed themselves The welcome you get is second to none
I am fortunate to live there for 6 months of the year then back To Mid Wales in uk another beautiful place but it does not compare with Portugal Go visit it will become a lifelong friend to all who choose to venture there
