Good evening folks, my fiancé and I are staying in Portugal for 10 days, and are going to be around the Lisbon/Sintra area the first 4.

I feel as though we now have to pick between Porto/Douro valley or the Algarve region. We definitely would like to find a lovely beach regardless, but I am worried that the beaches further north won’t hold a candle to the more southern ones.

Which area do you all think is more worth to prioritize?

Are there beaches drivable from Porto that can compare?
