How about a trip to Northern Portugal
A Brief Summary
Think Portugal, and you often imagine long sandy beaches with hoards of tourists bronzing themselves by day and eating and drinking by night. But head further north, from the capital Lisbon through the city of Coimbra and on to the city of Porto and you’ll see a very different Portugal. Hilly, rugged and scenic with a much more authentic Portuguese feel, this area is hugely popular with cyclists, wine-and-food lovers, walkers and city-goers alike. So avoid the crowds and come in June, when the weather is beautifully warm and sunny, with only the occasional shower and traverse your way up, or down, the west coast of northern Portugal
