      @mhussy I only just heard of Monsanto now, but upon checking, it is popularly known as "the most Portuguese village of Portugal". This is definitely worth checking out. I am also into hiking, and October would be good weather for that kind of activity.

      @endo These places on your map surely piqued my interest, thank you for sharing. Most interested in the Initiation Well and Santa Justa Lift.

      @Dmart Do you know of a restaurant where you can enjoy fado music and pasteis de nata at the same time? Sending my thanks in advance!

      @mclaincausey Your pal is really lucky to be an expat in this beautiful country!

          @danyhearty The Originals you get in the corny of Belem, but you get them pretty much everywhere. Same for Fado music, you will find hundreds of restaurants that play fado.

            Évora is a pretty cool place to visit. The Chapel of Bones is hauntingly awesome…..

            Óbidos is another easy day trip from Lisbon.

              I love your suggestions, @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot. Chapel of Bones looks awesome in photos, it would be a marvel to see it in person. I think Portugal should advertise Óbidos and Monsanto more to tourists.

                @Dmart Do you think I can still enjoy the beaches in October? I’ve noticed average temperatures ranging from 19°C to 21°C, depending on the data source. I’m planning to visit the Algarve, and I’ve also read about the beautiful Porto Santo Beaches on a small island in Madeira.

                @mhussy While researching Monsanto, I stumbled upon some lesser-known gems—Peniche and Monsaraz—that are equally breathtaking with fewer crowds compared to the popular spots. I got these destinations from this article https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-portugal-statistics-2023-the-ultimate-guide-5600

                And of course, I'm eagerly anticipating tasting pasteis de nata and immersing myself in fado music! 🎶

                  @danyhearty I would say yes, but it always depends. Temperature should be around what you have mentioned, but I have been lucky and 25-26C in October. Water temperature should still be ok, around 18C. But yes, its not July/August sound and heat, so definitely bring some warmer clothes.

                      I hope I will be lucky with temperatures between 25°C to 26°C as well. You make a good point about being prepared for some cooler temperatures, just in case. Thanks for the tips on what to expect weather-wise.
