[quote=Anonymous]We spent a few weeks in Portugal last summer and LOVED it.  I would leave child at home and have a nice trip with DH.

Stay at the Pousada do Porto, Palácio do Freixo if you can.  It's an old palace on the river and just beautiful.  Spend 2 days in Porto.  I would then rent a car and drive down to Lisbon, but be sure to stop in a small,  medieval town called Obidos along the way.  It's amazing.  There is also a Pousada there in the old castle (we stayed there), which is really cool.  Then go to Lisbon.  Outside of Lisbon, Sintra is really cool too and has some fabulous old palaces and castles surrounding it.

Alternatively, you could head out of Porto to the wine country in the Duoro Valley.  Absolutely gorgeous part of portugal.  Stunning hills with terraced vineyards dotted by small towns.  We loved it there.

There are many options but I would agree with PP who says skip the beach.  You can go to the beach anywhere, but shouldn't miss the beauty of Portugal's towns and cities and gorgeous countryside.  Oh, and the people are wonderful, food fabulous, and wine great!!

Have fun!!  We can't wait to go back.
