If you've ever googled "Algarve" you've probably seen the region's most famous sea cave:

I want to go. It seems that the most common way is a tour in which you stay in the boat. Not for me. Is there anything preventing me from swimming to it? It's at 37.087229, -8.423707. Looks very close to Benagil beach. Will someone stop me?

Hi everyone,

I am asking this for a friend and her family and would really appreciate your advice.

Hi there,

Flying into Porto on May 22 and will be flying out exactly one week later. Looking for suggestions for a good 6-7 day itinerary. I've been to Lisbon and central/southern Portugal before; this time around I'm wondering what would be ideal for Porto and the north. Is there time to check out some of Spain over the border (e.g. Vigo)?

I won't have a car - looking to do this by bus/train.

Any suggestions are hugely appreciated!

Hi,

I am planning on 6 days in the Azores for the end of May. We are flying into Ponta Delgada and wondering how feasible it is to do an overnight trip on another island.

Is that at all accurate? If we were to add another island to the trip, which would be optimized for distance and…

I'm planning a 5 day trip to Portugal as a solo traveller which combines a city break, with some nature and relaxation on the coast. So I thought to combine visiting Lisbon first before travelling to Madeira.

Any tips on where to stay and what should be included in my itinerary?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My bladder doesn't give me a lot of notice so I'd appreciate any information on where public washrooms for able-bodied visitors in Lisbon are most likely to be found in the daytime and whether they're also available in Metro stations.

Thanks!
