Early December Travel - Looking for places to go

Hello all

I am looking for somewhere to go early December for about a week.

I am not big on the ruins type of places, but do make great photo ops. Museums can be good but not main thing for me, but local artists can be a good thing.. I love bookstores and places can get a good cup of coffee. Loved my time with Stockholm and Fika.

I do like wandering around city, more country side with greenery (harder in Dec), and away from the more touristy spots (those can be good for generic xmas knick knack).

Would like an inexpensive flight and thus willing to train (maybe commuter flight) to final destination.

Would love your suggestions.

Hotel--above Youth Hostel but less than 5 star and definitely not chain brand.

As a card-carrying Florida man, there is only one place I would go in the winter: someplace warm. I would suggest Andalusia.

Portugal. Very affordable, with pleasant weather and fewer crowds in December. Something for everyone from dinosaur bones (Lourinha), standing stone circles (near Evora), Roman ruins (Conimbriga near Coimbra) plus much much more related to the years when Portugal was a world power.
