Now here's a competition that is going to be easy to enter since I have been to Portugal and would recommend it to anyone... It will complete my entry here and give you a quick overview of what you must do to take part.Firstly I have to say that my experience of Portugal was not typical... it rained for almost the whole time we were there, we made the mistake of taking a 'last minute bargain' which turned out NOT to be any sort of bargain at all...
There are some beautiful places to stay in Portugal, we were unlucky and got randomly placed in a fairly undesirable tower-block - so first off, check your accommodation out in a brochure and don't trust to a last-minute 'bargain'.
The weather was dull to wet until the last day, we had packed our unopened sun cream ready to come home and, would you believe it, actually got burned in the scorching sun whilst waiting for the coach to arrive...
Despite these set-backs, I would thoroughly recommend Portugal as a holiday destination to anyone who asked me - why?
- FANTASTIC FOOD!
- Lovely beaches
- warm friendly people
- fascinating scenery
- and did I mention the fantastic food... oh and the cheap wine!!!! the list goes on -
We found people helpful and friendly, I hired a car and we drove around everywhere.. the locals have a habit of what we call tail-gating, but there's no aggression in the driving. If you like golf (can't afford it myself) then you will think you are in golf heaven if you land on the Algarve with your golf sticks... (I know it's clubs, I'm just having a laugh....).
If you want to have a go at the competition yourself then..

I see that you really loved portuguese food!I'm affraid weather is quite untypical this year.I had only a few good days at the beach and I am still kind of waiting for Summer to arrive!Oh, yes, you also loved the wine.When I go abroad I miss those two things too!It's nice to read that we have warm friendly people.Sometimes I'm not so sure!Oh yes, beaches.Well, I live at the beach.Water is pretty cold, the wind is allways blowing my hair out of my head, sand is allways dancing in the air.Nice.In August I can't park my car anywhere, I walk all time.I'm asked several times in spanish,english and french for the directions to the camping park.Food prices go up.Local restaurantes are so full that I prefer to eat home and save the romantic dinners to Winter time...Suddenly on 31st August everybody vanishes.The city a becomes a ghost city again...until next year.
hey Belinha
Yes I am a confirmed foodie... I guess living in a holiday destination has it's downside. Thanks for your comments.
