1. Taste local sweets
Although the custard cake “pastel de nata” has gained most fame outside of Portugal, every region, city or even village has its own local specialty when it comes to sweets. Find a local “pastelaria” (bakery) and taste as much as you can!
2. Discover the local legend
The Portuguese are great in preserving stories from long ago. The country is filled with legends and tales about kings, princesses, fearless warriors and talking animals. You will probably stumble upon a statue, symbol or sign telling the local story yourself, but if not: ask for it at the nearest tourist office.
3. Hit the beach
No, it’s not only the Algarve that has great beaches. Literally all seven regions of Portugal have a phenomenal coast. No stay in this country will be complete without dipping your tow in the Atlantic Ocean.
