This 6 week trip started off with a good deal Charlotte found through Gate 1 for airfare, 5 nights in a hotel in Cascais Portugal, and a rent a car, all for less than the normal price of airfare alone. As soon as we learned that we could extend the return flight; we were on. We have been to Lisbon and Porto (as will as Santiago Spain), before and we loved it and always wanted to explore more. Also going back to Santiago at Easter to see the pageantry has always been on our bucket list.
Our driving route, 2500 miles!
Leg 1
After arriving in Lisbon we picked up the rent-a-car and headed directly to Cascais, about a hour from Lisbon. During this first lag of our trip we explored Cascais,Cabo da Roca, Nazare, Sitio, Alcobaca, Mafra, Fatima, and Tomor,
