I visited Portugal recently for 12 days and had a really enjoyable experience.
The scene is As described in recent reports. Pricing was fair.
Spent about $122/day on the hobby side. Best part was how easy everything was.
Overall: 8/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer questions.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
