Is this the destination for you?

Just a few days to spare? Fancy a change of air without going too far from home? On the contrary, do you need a complete change of scenery at the other end of the planet? Here's our latest advice to decide if a trip to Portugal is for you or not.

You should go if

You want to awaken your gourmet side
You imagine yourself listening to a real fado, with a glass of port in your hand
You love to meet friendly people
You find bullfights too cruel, but you can enjoy a bullfight without death at the end
You dream of riding in a yellow funicular tram in Lisbon

You shouldn't go if

You like a total change of scenery
You love light cuisine
You're too depressed to hope of holding out for more than 2 fados in a row
You have no interest in historic sites
You believe that Ronaldo plays for Madrid because Lisbon is only good for retirees and there's nothing there to do there
