We are so excited about vacationing from the U.S. to Central and Northern Portugal this coming April '22. Since our favorite ever vacation so far was renting a car and driving around Ireland, we decided to also drive in Portugal, going off the beaten track sometimes. We'll be driving from Lisbon to Porto, then Douro Valley, Coimbra, Evora, then back to Lisbon, stopping to see sights along the way. And of course eating at authentic Portuguese food restaurants, yum!
We were thinking about buying an electronic device that translates and speaks European Portuguese. First - would this even be necessary do you think? Second - does anyone have experience using one of these things, and did it work well? Third - any recommendations for a particular brand of electronic translator, one that isn't too expensive? There are so many different kinds found on the web, it's overwhelming! Thanks everyone.
