Portugal visit chalking out- help needed!

I am planning a trip to Portugal early next year(Lisbon, Algarve, Nazare, Fatima, and Coimbra) and I am wondering what cities to visit while I am there. Can someone share their experience on what place they like (must see) and the places I can avoid

Regards,
Ashish

Lisbon is of course a must-see, and we really enjoyed Evora as well. I think you'd be well-served to hit a few different places in the Algarve. We stayed in both Salema and Lagos, which are very different from each other but picturesque and interesting in their own ways. We visited but did not stay in Sagres; next time, we plan on finding accomodations for at least one night there.

Thanks Ashley - How many days long was you trip. I am thinking of spending 5 days in Portugal and 7 days in Spain

We had about two weeks; we spent 5 nights in Lisbon, three or 4 in the Algarve, and 5 more in Seville. Bus transport was easy and cheap everywhere. I really love the vibe of both Spain and Portugal -- they're just great countries to visit, loaded with culture and friendly people.

Did you like Seville- what are the noteworthy things to do in Seville and close by?
