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
relapseyou know you wanna
>>2881576i 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"
>>2881578smoke a lot of weed instead?i used to drink a bottle of vodka a day and now im just high all the timei dunno open up alltrails and find some shityou'll probably want to rent a car or if you are rich you could hire a driver
>>2881580i 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?
>>2881581you 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 mccanngo 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 localsbonus points if you use those recording glasses so you can film people's reactionsum bro you were kinda vague and didn't tell us what you want to seeportugal is beach resorts for middle class british people, wine, and uhhhhh fishgo hiking or else what do you want to do
>>2881583i 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 seei 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
>>2881575It's worse than Mexico and full of Indians and Africans now. Don't bother.
>>2881575>I don't want to go to Sintra/Algarve/Porto>i am thinking hikes, but it might get lonely2 options for Portugal>take a roadtrip, down / up the coast and back>go camping, chill on the beaches and do day hikesor>Peneda-GerĂªs National Park>stay in some hotel>and do day hikes or bike tours from therepersonally I prefer the latter onebut I don't care about the ocean so...if you're fine with leaving PortugalI'd go to the Pyrenees and hike therebecause honestly, the charm of Portugal is mostly in it's (small) towns, scattered alongside the coastor if you're into surfingbut for exclusively Nature oriented trips, be it a roadtrip or hikingnearby areas in Spain are much cooler to explore
>>2881610i have to go for my cousin's wedding. It's not a place I am interested in at all, but I have to go. >>2881645>the charm of Portugal is mostly in it's (small) towns, scattered alongside the coastisn't the interior more filled with medieval villages/"portuguese" vibes etc? the coast from what i understand is completely inundated with tourists
>>2881659>isn't the interior more filled with medieval villages/"portuguese" vibes etc?depends on what you mean by interiormy "alongside the coast" would include the ~20km from the coastbasically anything you can reach within a bicycle daytrip from your camping tripbut yeahthe actual, the immediate coast is very touristyalso where most of the people live thoughso it's not necessarily badjust depends on what you want to see if you want to see villages like Sortelhathese are in the actual interior
