Just in the beginning stages of planning our next vacation, and since you were all so helpful this past year with Italy, I figured I'd pick your brains again. I'm thinking it'll be Portugal & Spain, but nothing is carved in stone yet.
Vacation will be 2-3 weeks, and I'm hoping to start compiling a good list of must see places, as well as the out of the way "real deal" places.
We will be flying out of San Francisco.
Not sure how we will split the time yet, suggestions are definitely welcome.
We love to explore, and try real ethnic cuisine.
I prefer not to rent a car, unless it's really necessary. We traveled by train in Italy, and it was a great experience.
Not really into hanging at the beach, but if the beach is nearby, that's fine.
So please tell me where to start, your feedback is most appreciated. This is also posted on the Portugal forum, figured it's best to keep the discussions separate.
