We will spend nearly two weeks in Portugal, which is plenty of time to add stops in off-the-beaten-path type places like Coimbra.
Located in central Portugal, Coimbra is a cute college town full of narrow, cobblestone streets. We liked that Coimbra fit into the mid-sized city category, as it was a departure from the urban and rural Portugal we had experienced to date.
Our favorite Coimbra memories:
- Triumphantly hoofing, packs and all, to our B&B, which was located at the peak of Coimbra's Upper Town. Though our host had pre-warned us that our accommodations were difficult to reach and it would be best to take a taxi, we fought burning legs past the Quebra Costa (back breaker stairs) and successfully navigated our way there.
- Our B&B itself, Casa Pombal, is one to be remembered: charming and adorable, it was all pink, flowery frills. Super romantic.
- Eating bacalhau fresco (fresh cod) at a bar full of university students while the Portugal vs. Spain Eurocup game aired.
Next stop: Sintra, Portugal
