- why skip Algarve? Comments on rest of trip welcome! - Rick Steves
Regarding your itinerary it seems perfect, Algarve is good if you have a car you should go and search spots like benagil and others, definitely great beachs and views Evora is good or one night, look to pass by the "Portuguese Stonehenge" I would reduce it to 2 nights in Algarve, so you enjoy 1 other stop on the way to or back from Coimbra
- Driving from Faro to Sagres - Rick Steves
We will be driving from Faro to Sagres next week Google Maps says it will take 1 5-2 hours Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good beach or town to stop in along the way? We will probably go to Benagil one day from Sagres, so maybe something before Benagil that you think is a must s
- Algarve tide pools? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
I suppose I should add geology to the list, as the rock formations such as the Benagil Caves are definitely of interest as well We will be a little less goat-footed this trip though (see "meandering slowly"), as dh's knee can't take twisting the way it used to So--what are your thoughts about that aspect of the Algarve?
- Thoughts on Car Hire v. Train from Porto to Lisbon (and which city to . . .

- Uber Bolt or rent a car in Lagos? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
From what I was reading on a different travel forum, it looks like I shouldn't have any problem getting an Uber when I want to wander a bit Does everyone agree? It would be great not to have to worry about a rental car I definitely want to go to Carvoeiro and hike the 7 Hanging Valley Trail as well as see Benagil Caves if possible, and I might want to go to Albufeira one day I think I can
