I have just returned from 9 April Picturesque Portugal. This was my first Just You holiday and my first holiday alone. It was also my first visit to Portugal. In spite of poor weather at times, it was an enjoyable holiday, in good company.
We were a group of 21, of which about 7 people knew each other already. We all mixed well I think.
A lot of places and visits were packed into the itinerary. There were 4 hotels, which was a bit unsettling, but necessary, as we covered many different aspects of the country in a short time.
The coach was a bit cramped, and there was more walking than I thought (largely on uneven surfaces), but the pace was slow enough to take account of everyone.
Breakfasts were included but most other meals were not, which added to the cost of the holiday.
Our guide Filomena was good at giving information and organising us, and looked after us all.
Now I am back, I realise I have learnt a lot about the country and that this holiday was a good taste of many places of interest in Portugal.
