i'm back from portugal. the holiday was fantastic even if it rained for a few days. we stayed in porto the first night which was pretty scummy actually, lots of derelict buildings and graffiti everywhere. we then drove to the coast to our lovely villa. spent time visiting the deour valley, lovely markets and old roman towns. there was also a little cafe about 5 mins from the villa. we spent many a night playing pool there with the locals and drinking. prices are so cheap over there. four beers cost about 2 euros!
