I have to go there for my cousins wedding in mid June. I'll be there from June 15th - June 30th. June 15th - June 21st I will be in Lisbon to help with wedding shit.

After that I wanna go off and explore. I am 38, recently separated, an alcoholic so I don't drink. I don't want to go to Porto (after spending time in Lisbon I'm not down to see another big city) but would rather see all that medieval/roman/hikes/hilltop shit.

I don't want to go to Sintra/Algarve/Porto. I am gonna be alone, like a true faggot/loser but still wanna have a good time without being packed shoulder to shoulder with other people.

Truth be told I don't even want to go, but since I have to i figured I migh as well make the most of it. I looked up "ugliest cities in portugal" so i could find places with limited amounts of tourists but they're all just suburbs of lisbon or porto and im not interested.

Anyone got any ideas? i am thinking hikes, but it might get lonely

relapse
you know you wanna

i was thinking that i'd just drink and say fuck it, and it's still an option, but i mean, being all alone and drunk is not gonna be fun anyway. I need to at least be able to lie to myself and say "i'm doing it to break the ice and enjoy company"

>>2881578
smoke a lot of weed instead?
i used to drink a bottle of vodka a day and now im just high all the time

i dunno open up alltrails and find some shit
you'll probably want to rent a car or if you are rich you could hire a driver
>>

i can't smoke weed i get paranoid and extremely anxious. incredibly awful experience that is almost the direct opposite of the way the effect is shown in media.
i will rent a car. open up all trails lol. is that all u got for me lol. have u been there?
>>
>>2881581
you should try indica, not sativa, sativa makes you much more paranoid (and take less)
they label it well if its medicinal
> that is almost the direct opposite of the way the effect is shown in media.
weed is semi-legal specifically because it is unpleasant in high doses

>is that all u got for me lol. have u been there?
try to find maddie mccann
go up to random portugese people, like bring hundreds of printouts of her photo and hand them to people and figure out how to say "have you seen her?" in portugese and ask the locals
bonus points if you use those recording glasses so you can film people's reactions

um bro you were kinda vague and didn't tell us what you want to see
portugal is beach resorts for middle class british people, wine, and uhhhhh fish
go hiking or else what do you want to do
>>
>>2881583
i tried both types of weed, nothing works, i always end up just running so hard and so much until my nipples chafe my shirt and blood spurts out tremendously its very bad. scary.
>um bro you were kinda vague and didn't tell us what you want to see
i mean where are the best areas to walk around in - some place with nature/medieval vibes/roman vibes/old shit/nottoo crowded/relaxed/good food
>>
>>2881575
It's worse than Mexico and full of Indians and Africans now. Don't bother.

2 options for Portugal

>take a roadtrip, down / up the coast and back
>go camping, chill on the beaches and do day hikes
or
>Peneda-GerĂªs National Park
>stay in some hotel
>and do day hikes or bike tours from there
personally I prefer the latter one
but I don't care about the ocean so...

if you're fine with leaving Portugal
I'd go to the Pyrenees and hike there
because honestly, the charm of Portugal is mostly in it's (small) towns, scattered alongside the coast
or if you're into surfing

but for exclusively Nature oriented trips, be it a roadtrip or hiking
nearby areas in Spain are much cooler to explore

i have to go for my cousin's wedding. It's not a place I am interested in at all, but I have to go.

isn't the interior more filled with medieval villages/"portuguese" vibes etc? the coast from what i understand is completely inundated with tourists

depends on what you mean by interior
my "alongside the coast" would include the ~20km from the coast
basically anything you can reach within a bicycle daytrip from your camping trip

but yeah
the actual, the immediate coast is very touristy
also where most of the people live though
so it's not necessarily bad
just depends on what you want to see

if you want to see villages like Sortelha
these are in the actual interior
