Hi all
We are heading to Portugal in mid July which is not my first choice because of crowds (and the heat) but our daughter is studying abroad and we're going to meet her. My husband and I are not "crowd" people so I'm worried about visiting the traditional places on everyones list like Sintra, Evora, Obidos during the summer? Your thoughts?
We are starting in Lisbon, then Caicas, then Villa Perda in a rural area near Coimbra and then on to Porto. We love slowing down and enjoying the culture of the country and the cities, we love taking walks and taking in the atmosphere of a place, and we love nature. Some of the self guided walks in Lisbon from the Rick Steves book look perfect for us for example. I would love to hear any thoughts on other more off the beaten track ideas of things to do!
