I have a trip to Spain already booked for Aug 27 arrival in Madrid, then heading up north to Asturias. Thinking about maybe leaving the States 2 nights earlier and spend 2 nights in Lisbon and then get a cheap flight to Madrid. But is it worth it to have just 2 days in Lisbon (including day of arrival)? And how hot can I expect it to be late August? Thanks!

Not sure what your temperature tolerance is. I live in a temperate zone (Seattle) and cannot deal with being hot. Last year in October in Lisbon and Coimbra I was so hot I needed to purchase a couple of cool blouses/shirts. The temp was 89-90F. August would be just as hot or hotter I think.
Not sure how to advise you about the time in Lisbon. 2days really isn’t much once you factor in arrival in a jet lagged state (??-YMMV) and then a flight out to Madrid. I love Lisbon but feel you will need more time there if this is a first visit for you.
