Folks - we are a family of 4 including 2 toddlers. Our travel style is traveling during shoulder season to avoid big crowds. We like open-air natural beauty or if it' a city, find a cute neighborhood cafe and people watch, leisurely stroll in a park, eat at some select restaurants that locals flock to (love seafood), check out outdoor farmers/flea markets and pick up good produce for home-cooked meals, open-air music and festivals and of course mix in a little bit of play areas for kids which are often found in parks or indoor places. We don't necessarily center all our activities to just what the kids would enjoy
We do like to go slow so thinking 5-6 nights in each place with day trips from there. Hence, we'd like to do either Porto OR Lisbon and the Algarve region. What would you recommend based on what I've stated above?
Also if any of you have an idea of the tree pollen (especially oak season) and if it's areas south that get hit first, that info would be good to know
Thanks
