Lisbon

Portugal · 23–27 May 2023

Lisbon was amazing. Good food, good weather, transport that was easy to figure out, and welcoming people. It didn't start well, though. I landed at 2am with no idea where my Airbnb was, because the addresses made no sense to me. Luckily someone on the street spoke English and pointed me the right way. I stopped using Airbnb after that.

Back in Porto. The food, the weather, the transport and the people were still great, just not quite as good as my first visit. I still edge Porto a little ahead of Lisbon.

Madrid

Spain · 29–31 May 2023

The highlight was a leathercraft class where I made a wallet, and I still use it today. The people were rude, though, and nowhere near as welcoming as in Portugal.
