PING!
Sounds like fun...
I love Portugal, Spain and of course the Italian coasr
What was the per person cost of that meal ?
Thanks so much for sharing! We spent 2 weeks in Thailand last November and a week in Athens Greece in April. Both places are foodie heaven lol. I loved Athens and could go back happily in a heart beat. Rome is on the agenda this year, but we would also love to do a week in Spain if possible. I want to go back to the the far east though. For some reason, that captures my spirit. After Rome, we’re hoping to revisit Thailand, but also include visits to Da Nang Vietnam and Malaysia.
Was in Lisbon one year ago, loved it, food was outstanding, people great, wine good, tourist spots okay, Church buildings very nice.
We were in Lisbon for a couple days and the Douro Valley for a wine tour early Oct ‘23. We ate extremely well, many times with special dinners at small family owned wineries.
The best octopus I have ever had was at a big group (2 dozen or so of us) dinner at the boutique hotel we were at in wine country.
Also, I found Portugal very English-friendly. Which is not surprising, as the Portuguese have been commercial and military allies with the English for a few hundred years.
I liked Portugal quite well, would go back.
