expectations & insider tips
A journey through Portugal wouldn't be complete without experiencing its unique culinary delights. From fresh seafood dishes like grilled sardines and cataplana (seafood stew) to hearty meat dishes like cozido à portuguesa (traditional Portuguese stew) and pastel de nata (custard tarts), there's something to tantalize every taste bud.
Hidden Gems
Portugal is brimming with hidden gems that often go unnoticed by the usual tourist trails:
Aveiro: Often referred to as the "Venice of Portugal," Aveiro is a charming coastal town with colorful moliceiro boats gliding along its canals. Explore the Art Nouveau architecture, savor fresh seafood, and relax on the nearby beaches.
Peneda-Gerês National Park: A nature lover's paradise, this park is the only national park in Portugal. Hike through lush forests, discover hidden waterfalls, and soak in the thermal springs. The park also offers glimpses of traditional village life.
Monsanto: A unique village built amongst giant boulders, Monsanto is a living testament to Portugal's history. Wander through the narrow streets, marvel at the houses integrated into the rocks, and enjoy panoramic views from the castle ruins.
