This is my first time in Portugal and I'm really enjoying it. The country is a bit more "behind the times" when compared to Spain, but this makes no impact whatsoever on the richness of the architecture, history, or culture. Like Salamanca, ... Read more >

We
overnighted last night in Madrid, one of my most favorite cities in
Spain, en route to Portugal. Madrid is one of those magical European
cities, for me, that holds a ton of culture, history, and a place where

Lagos is a party city, that is what its known
for, that’s what everyone talks about.
When people mention Lagos,
