Looks like I'll be spending a short week in Portugal this autumn--my choice of Lisbon, Porto, or both. Once I get to Portugal, I think I'll want to limit my travel to one city so me and dad can kick back and relax without moving around too much. Who's been? Preference? Restaurant recommendations? Suggestions for one special meal? Thank you!!

No, you don't have to pick one, but I'd love to read some opinions from experts on the pros and cons of these titans vis-a-vis each other. Maybe I should have titled this post "Ronaldo and Messi" because we're lucky to be witnessing both. Messi reminds me of Maradona - I don't even want to get into that comparison. Who else can run faster dribbling than in a straight-out sprint? And if this conversation turns to GOAT, go ahead and throw him in. Yes, you know who. I would love some substantive discussion instead of just a name followed by an explanation point.

Because Portugal requested to modify the agreement made on May 4, 1493 via the Treaty of Tordesillas on June 7, 1494. That's it. That's the only reason why. If Portugal hadn't asked the Pope to modify the 1493 agreement (the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) moved things 270 leagues to the west), Brazil - the easternmost country in South America, and as-yet undiscovered - would be a Spanish-speaking country.

We have a lot of info on Lisbon in the Portugal thread, but has anyone been to the Azores (Açores)? Interested in hearing any tales and recommendations, with the caveat that he doesn't drink and I can drink at most a glass of wine or a beer every two or three days, so I won't be going on a vinho verde binge.
