An afternoon near the sea, in a quaint little cafe, listening to a live cello player has to be the perfect way to spend a vacation. While I do love site seeing, one of my favorite things to do while traveling is to find an outdoor patio at a cozy cafe and relax. I like to sip, sit, and people watch. 
There are so many reasons to visit Portugal. In a word, it’s magical. The streets sparkle under the lights at night.

Here are a few more reasons to plan a trip to Portugal: affordable and easy public transportation, listening to people speaking Portuguese (it’s beautiful), riding the fairy to the beach, cycling around town, getting lost while exploring the city, and tasting a variety of Portugal wines. There aren’t really any reasons not to go. I hope one day you get to visit Portugal!
