[quote=Anonymous]We did this years ago over Labor Day weekend and loved it. Portugal is small, charming and very accessible. We did a week and flew in and out of Lisbon with a rental car. (DH is fearless about driving in other countries although you couldn’t have paid me to do it - but it worked really well.)  We did Lisbon, Sintra, Porto, and then drove down the center of the country to a couple days on the Algarve for the beaches. I would absolutely skip Algarve. It’s nothing impressive at all and feels very touristy. If I could do it again, I would have stayed longer in Lisbon and just done Sintra as a day trip instead of changing hotels (although we stayed at a nice place that was owned by Ritz Carlton but not flagged as such) and then spent longer in Porto and done some wine touring.

Enjoy, it’s a great trip!

Oh and PS: funny Portuguese quirk that makes tons of sense - if drivers in the left lane think the car in front of them is going too slowly and should get in the right lane, they put their left blinkers on even though there isn’t another left lane. [/quote]
