    Default Tips on Spain and Portugal

    Planning a trip there in the fall for 3 weeks. Wonder if there are any tips, must see/eat, tourist traps to avoid etc.

    Portugal seems simple, everything is hrs away from Lisbon. Madrid and Barcelona would be the other destinations.

    Did a week in Portugal in early October. Spent a couple days in Porto and then the remainder down in Lagos.

    Didn't go to Lisbon as people I knew who went said to skip it if we had a limited amount of time there.

    Porto was really cool for a couple days. Did some port tasting and toured the City. Lagos and the Algarve coast was pretty awesome. Hot, surfing, beach. Good times.

    Rented a car while in Lagos. Easy enough to drive around. Definitely recommend renting a car as getting to beaches and other sites its needed.

    Dunno what's going on that time of the year but watch some futbol FC Barcelona or Real Madrid.

    Madrid kinda boring but Barcelona was lively.
