I'm planning this 8-night trip for next February. Our interests are cool neighborhoods, good food/drink, and hiking. We generally don't do museums, tourist attractions, guided tours, or shopping. Here are what I plan to do:
\- 3 nights in Libson No agenda other than walking all the cool neighborhoods and cute streets of central Lisbon, while eating, drinking and generally sitting around at various restaurants and cafes. We will likely skip the tacky theme park called Sintra.
\- 2 nights in Evora 2 nights seems a bit much for Evora. We need to figure out some places to stop on the way, or a day trip option. Or we can cut it down to 1 night and use the extra time in Lisbon or Algarve.
\- 3 nights in Silves We want to avoid the Cancun version of Algarve I was just in Cancun twice this year, so I've had enough. While in the Algarve, we hope to hike the Seven Hanging Valleys, visit Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente, and hike other scenic spots mainly along the southwest coast. We need access to grocery stores and some restaurants. #travel
