[quote=Anonymous]We did a week in Portugal.

Flew into and spent 4 nights in Lisbon. We stayed by the Principe Real in an airbnb and it was great. Nice, quite residential area with some good restaurants nearby.  Walking around Alfama was my favourite part of Lisbon. We went to Belem one day, but in hindsight I would have skipped that and maybe squeezed in a museum.

Day-tripped to Sintra to see the Pena Palace and Castle of the Moors. The former was nice, but super crowded. We ubered out there and that was super smart! The latter I didn't enjoy b/c I am moderately afraid of heights. I could usually manage that, but with my younger kids I was a nervous wreck.

One night in Evora at a really lovely bed and breakfast. We had an amazing meal and there was a hot tub that the kids loved.

Then we drove down to the Sagres and stayed at the Martinhal Family Resort for three nights. This was hands-down my kids' favourite part of the trip. The resort lives up to it's "family-friendly" description, so we were able to end the trip on a relaxing note.

We flew out of Faro (back to London where we live).

Everything worked out and it was a well balanced trip, city exploration, culture, food, scenery, down-time. I wish it was a few days longer. [/quote]
