I visited Portugal recently for 12 days and had a solid experience.

The scene is As described in recent reports. Prices up 10-15% from last year.

Spent about $120/day on the hobby side. Best part was the friendliness.

Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

Happy to answer questions.

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $96/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
