We spent most of our time in Lisbon, which was fabulous. Just really pleasant and scenic, with its harbour and the amazing Cristo Rey statue overlooking all. (I’d like to see the much larger one in Brazil someday.)
The Portuguese seem to like eating in quantity, which means they’re all right by me. The language was difficult though – to my ears it sounded like broken Spanish with a French accent. Of course, the deficiency lies in my ears rather than the language, but I still never quite got the hang of it.
