I like going to Portugal whenever I can (from Spain).
I like Alentejo, specially, it feels calm, and I like the colors there.
The biker meeting in Faro is the best I ever went to (4 times already). Great organisation. Great club members, working all the time without getting tired or loosing their temper. Very friendly with everyone (and belive me, it is difficult at times). I do not think there is a better biker meeting in the world.
Lisboa: for me, Lisboa has two faces. There was a time I stayed at Lisboa every Sunday (working reasons). When I left the hotel, it took me time to get on one mood with the city. I found it dirty, stressing, smelling bad... after several hours, a meal and a glass wine, I grew into the harmony of this atlantic town, the air, the colours of houses, the color of the Chalkstone/basalt streets, the mood of people... I started feeling well.
People: I had good experiences and bad experiences. Most people were very friendly, very polite and thoughtful. Some were not. You know, like everywhere.
I like the food.
I will always go back.
