[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was underwhelmed with Portugal. We were there in late summer 2019 and while it is beautiful, I found it much less interesting and welcoming than most other western or southern European countries, and the food was extremely disappointing. We love good, fresh and interesting cuisine and the bland and heavy food we encountered seemed so odd to us. We went to good places on recommendations from people whose advice on food we generally trust, and were really surprised by how mediocre it was. Yes, there was some very fresh seafood, but it had little flavor, there were almost no vegetables served anywhere, and the bread and pastries were heavy and dense. [/quote]

I have never heard anyone say this about Portugal.  We loved the food and found the people so friendly.  A local actually dashed over to me in the rain to pay a parking meter that we were struggling with one day.  [/quote]

^^^ forgot my entire point was to ask:  where in Portugal did you go?[/quote]
