Travel north and check out the rest of the country, for verily, it is truly fabulous.
out in the sticks theres vast unspoilt areas with very few people, the beer out in the sticks is stupendously cheap, and the people friendly and respectful.
driving skill is an eye opener though, Portugal is the only place I have watched in disbelief, as in the distance a car accelerated to over take a car, that was,overtaking a coach, up a hill, around a blind bend, with a sheer drop on the one side and a solid wall rockface on 'tuther....
in fact I just pulled over to watch.
