I visited Portugal recently for 7 days and had a solid experience.
The scene is Scene has improved recently. Some negotiation possible midweek.
Spent about $71/day on the hobby side. Best part was the quality of the GFE.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
Happy to answer questions.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $60/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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