Thanks a lot for your help.

Answer 1

yes.

music festivals:

- Sudoeste (rock music) in Alentejo

- Paredes de Coura (rock) in Minho (north of Portugal)

and many many other.

PS - but don't go there, unless you wanna lots of hot girls, s*x, drinks and other good stuff...

Answer 5

Lots of ocean...great beaches.  Especially on the south coast.  The Algarve is highly celebrated.  The westernmost point, Sagres, is supposed to be very pretty.  Mountains in the north, good hiking and interesting stop points.  Vineyards and wineries in Oporto.  Lisbon is very pretty, lots of interesting neighborhoods, muesums, monuments.  it was the first place I ever saw swans just living in the middle of a boulevard.  (seen it in other places since, but it was very   pretty, that main boulevard running from the Praça do Comercio up perpendicular to the coastline is very pretty.  The Avenida da Libertad.)
