What are the reasons to spend winters in Portugal?

 Are you preparing for a trip to Portugal? Although the country is most famous for its beaches and endless summer sun, it’s worth considering vacationing at other times of the year. However, if you visit in winter, you will find cheaper prices, minute crowds, great food – and probably plenty of that sunshine as well! Therefore it is said that winters in Portugal is the best time.

It’s a huge mistake to take sunny Portugal as a summer destination. To be very honest, if you talk about me, summer is my very least favorite time of the year for Portugal travel as it’s too hot and crowded for my liking. Despite the cooler temperatures and increased likelihood of rain, I think winters in Portugal are very much better than summer.

Without any further to-do, here are some of the reasons to plan a trip for winters in Portugal.

Off peak means cheaper accommodation and travel

Many people thank to lower demand in the winter months as it’s easier and cheaper to find good accommodation. The hotels particularly in Lisbon and Porto are quite expensive between May and October but barring special events, such as the Christmas and New Year period and Valentine’s Day, however the winter prices are much more accessible.

Guide for things to do in Pico Island

 


Each island of Azores has its own charm and appeal. If you wish to visit them all then you will require at a month to go through all of them. Pico island is basically the second-largest island in Azores, and nicknamed “grey island” because it’s the most volcanic and basalt- of them all. In this blog you will get to know about different things to do in Pico Island.

What is the best time to visit Pico Island?

If you talk according to the weather, then the months from May to September are the best ones to visit the Pico islands. However there are two things you should keep in mind:

Firstly, Azores are very well-known for their ever-changing weather. As a tourist you will get to know that you can experience all the four seasons in just one day. This becomes more likely in an island with a dramatic mountain landscape like the Pico islands. Therefore for the entire duration of your trip, you may get lucky with 100% sunny days or heavy rainfall days or anything in between them.

Secondly, deciding the best time to visit the Azores is much more than just looking at the good weather. It eventually comes down on your interests and the activities you want to try. Whale-watching is big in Pico so you might want to look at the March-May period, where the most whale species can be spotted along the coast.
