🇵🇹 Portugal

Salt in the air. No reason to rush.

Portugal, slowly

Portugal is better slowly. The west coast between Lisbon and Peniche is a string of surf towns, cliff roads, and bakeries that all deserve more time than a day trip allows. Kamanė lives here — a tall, patient van for exactly this kind of travelling: short drives, long stays, doors open toward the ocean.

Suggested trip: 4–10 days
Pickup: Lisbon & west coast region
Best months: April–October
Surfboards welcome
