Really terrific overview! I should move there, but I fear I have waited too long. Immigration appointments must be impossible to get now. But I'm finally near my redline. I'm still undecided about Portugal or Spain.

Hi Rich, you have not waited too long, it’s easier to get your first appointment than it is to get a renewal right now but by the time you need your renewal they’ll have sorted that out. Still Spain is a great choice too!!!

What a fantastic trip! How do you choose where to go? Generally. If I went in vacation, I would arrive at the first sea shore and remain there till the end. :-) :-) The only thing my soul wants is swimming. From the morning to the evening :-) :-)

Hi Liudmila, thank you for your comment!!

Well I live in Porto so I get to explore Portugal. I've taken a lot of day trips around Porto or stopped in towns I was curious about on my way to Spain or the Algarve. I don't really look at my travels here as a vacation per say. My last real vacation was to Greece where I did indeed swim (one day only).

But we all go on vacation for different reasons!

I'm led by my love of architecture. 🥰

What a great guide! I finally went to Portugal for the first time last month and can’t wait to go back, your guide will help for the next visit.

This is great, thanks for the destination guide--I'll definitely refer to this when I get out to Portugal!

Also, I love the details about Portuguese architecture! Looks similar to what I saw in Seville, which was GORGEOUS, and def made me want to visit more
