Not all Euro countries are created equal, and Portugal is one of the bargain countries in the region — and one of my favorites. I fell in love with the country the first time I visited — how could I not, with beautiful beaches, wine country, stunning cliffs, delicious food, jovial locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices. Portugal for some reason seems to avoid the crowds and press other European countries get. It’s a shame, because it’s wonderful and deserves it, but everyone else’s loss is your gain.
