I visited Portugal recently for 7 days and had a great experience.
The scene is Scene has improved recently. Pricing was fair.
Spent about $113/day on the hobby side. Best part was the quality of the GFE.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
Happy to answer questions.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
