Portugal’s “Shoulder Season” Isn’t What You Think

Turns out, Portugal’s so-called shoulder season (like March or November) might not be the travel hack we thought.

But if you want to dodge crowds and still have stuff to do, avoid those random festival weeks! #PortugalTravel #TravelTips #RickSteves #Travel
