Hello,
I am planning to visit Portugal this July with my almost 17 year old son. We have a month, but also might include Spain for part of it. Will be flying into either Porto or Lisbon and traveling north. We like to hike, visit historic towns and scenic seaside villages, and of course eat delicious food and meet nice people. Some places I want to visit include: Obidos (possibly during Medieval festival), Sintra, Porto, and...?
I'm thinking of taking the bus from Porto to Salamanca. I'm in the early stages of planning, so open to any ideas and suggestions. Also, what is the best way to get around? Do I need to rent a car, or can I manage with public transportation? Also open to a boat trip, if that is worthwhile.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Karen
