It’s often the starting point: spending a long weekend in Lisbon before venturing out west. The capital is so full of interesting spots to eat and, of course, drink (peep the creative cool kids sipping port and tonics in Bairro Alto all night). But, outside the city limits is breezy beachy beauty, all the way to the Comporta coast. So, here’s our best route to tootle along through the Portuguese countryside, from a sleek urban guesthouse to a cool cabin over towards the country’s answer to the Hamptons: a stretch of soft sand for slow and steady days.
