And as I said before it wouldn't be fair to draw a slightly negative image of an entire country over one bad city, or else most of us would be fckd up. Just to support my statment a site like TripAdvidor http://www.tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice-Destinations-cTop-g4 scores the capital Lisbon in a humble 16th place in the top 25 cities to visit in Europe. About comparing it with Spain I think you have to add the city/region where you've been, because If you liked Setúbal or Tróia better than Spain I think you have go back to Spain again, but ill let some spanish Lp'er to defend his country heh. I've been in some spanish cities that are very very nice and hard to compare to Lisbon. In the tripadvisor site you can find 2 Spanish's cities in the top 12 which are Barcelona and Madrid. And about politics and economy, well unfortunately Portugal has entered in down spiral on which we cannot see an end for it. I'll end the post with a obvious question. Which are the top 3 cities/countries you've been in europe? and/or in the world If you ever comeback ( and you should! ) pick summer time July- to mid Sept you'll not regret it 4 sure.

Hey k4ir0s, I haven't been there yet. Portugal has 2 Islands, Azores and Madeira.
Both have good feedback from tourists they have very nice landscapes and natural beauty , but are small Islands overall. Probably small nightlife too. Food should be great.
If your going with your gf should be nice and relaxing, if your hoping to party hard with friends or so, you probably wont be that lucky.

But then again I haven't been there, thats just what I've heard about the Islands.

Heh now thats what I'm talking about! Lisbon ftw

i liked portugal when i visited, very nice beaches and warm.

@Those which are from Portugal,

Im going to Portugal on monday and need some advice. We will start in Lisboa for about 4 days, then going south to Albufeira for about 2-3 days.

What to do/not do?
Where to go?
Things to see?
Where to grind?

Thx in advance =)

I just have to say that u nailed it in the locations o visit in portugal. Lisbon is mandatory and then if I was a tourist and was going south Albufeiras was defininatly my pick I'll send you a pm with some suggestions I'll trade it for some pictures and a report when u go back home heh.
