Portugal has an oversized history, fascinating culture, and boatloads of sardines. Saving the capital city of Lisbon for another episode, we’ll dance on the beach at Nazaré, marvel at a medieval abbey in Batalha, visit a royal library and revel with university students in Coimbra, savor port wine with the people who made it along the Douro River, and get to know Portugal’s gritty and fascinating second city, Porto. This video and explanation come directly from Rick Steves.
Mrs. Gunkel took a group of 44 to Portugal in July of 2022 and they went to every place that us highlighted in this video. Contact Mrs. Gunkel at [email protected] if you are interested in join her on a future tour. Her next trip is in July of 2024 to Spain & Italy.
