Last week I split 7 days in Porto and Lisbon with my photography nerd and friend Roman Fox.
Thankfully for me Roman had previously spent a lot of time in both cities, which ultimately meant I didn’t have to engage my brain much as I just followed along like a lost puppy. But I did learn some stuff too, namely:
I’ve never encountered more polite drug dealers.
Shorts is still an option in November if you’re willing to have locals stare in disbelief.
Other than that, the locals are all smiles.
Compared to the UK it’s an incredibly affordable place to travel. Food is both fantastic and cheap.
The mix of Atlantic coastline and rustic cities makes it a phenomenal photography destination.
I’ve been told for years I should visit Portugal but for some reason never moved it to the top of my list. I now realise I’m an idiot. Here are some photos.
