I didn't expect to find Portugal

Women alone. Are you discriminated against because you are not a couple? Do you pay more for your accommodation because of that? We travel to Portugal to find out. Lisbon. Are you safe in the city of history? The city of Ferdinand Megellan? Of Batholmeuu Dias? Or, dare we say it? Christiano Ronaldo? Where does one go for the so-called famous Bacalhau à brás? What does that mean? And where can I get it? Or maybe we can discover Sardinhas at the ubiquitous road-side stalls? There may be more to the locally-called Lisboa than we had ever imagined. And it may, perhaps, be cheaper than a sojourn in Spain? But with the same history, architecture, aesthetic, and culture. Find out.
