In the last couple of years Portugal has become synonymous with “cheap destination”. I prefer to call it authentic, and not just to defend the Portuguese pride. Strolling through the streets of Lisbon and Porto never did I feel the need to compare them to a previous voyage, so rich were the local sights. Portugal (thanks to the “cheap” notoriety) is an obvious week-end destination, but it’s best to consider to spend some additional days in order to venture out onto the paths less known to the tourist masses.
