If I close my eyes and summon up a scene from our eight months of slow travel, this little balcony overlooking the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro is what springs to mind. Barely big enough to perch a cafe table and two folding chairs when its two sea-green, wooden shutters were swung open, it's tiny footprint only amplified the striking sea and mountain views that it gave way to.
Lisbon is a city rich in culture, but also in food and drink. Following our trip, we rounded up the top must-try tastes that we encountered during our stay. Do like the Portuguese and sample a bit of all during your travels, or pick up a few and soak up the European flavors right at home.
With dramatic cliffs that hug the Atlantic coastline, Portugal constitutes the southwestern most tip of Europe. A prime position for sunset viewing, for sure, but also a sliver of land that offers rich culture (and equally rich cuisine), stunning scenery, genuinely nice people and equally important, extreme value.
