                <description><![CDATA[I travel a lot and I like to stay in hostels, because you usually get better quality in a nice hostel than in a cheap hotel. Truly one of the best hostels in Europe is the Lisbon Lounge Hostel. <br>Stunning, stylish. Everything is brand new and you’ll enjoy your stay the most. Check the pictures and you'll see I'm not overstating!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I've just got back from a week at Rapture Surf Camp in Portugal. The beach in Ericeira is excellent with great waves. The surf camp is based in a chilled out villa 3 minutes walk from the sea. <br><br>You get friendly and knowledgeable surf guides who will tell you where to surf and give you pointers, decent hearty meals and a communal living room with comfy sofas, widescreen tv and dvds where you can hang out with other travellers and relax after a hard days surfing. <br><br>The town itself has plenty of bars and some good restaurants. You can get a great Brazilian steak for 10 Euros<br><br>I paid just over 200 Euros for 6 nights, surf lessons, wetsuit &amp; board hire, breakfast and dinner and a ride to the airport. Bargain.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is a bar at the approach to the castle that is simply wonderful. We passed this place on our way down from the castle &amp; the 80s music playing on VH1 drew us in. <br><br>The owner said he plays the music he grew up with/likes so expect an ecletic mix, from Peter Gabriel to the Corrs. Irrespective of your age just go in &amp; savour the atmosphere. <br><br>We ordered food and were not disappointed. The chef (a guy with a large moustache) was German and served us two great plates. Two large mains &amp; two large jugs of freshly made sangria set us back only €36.<br> <br>We really recommend this place - so much so that we went back again towards the end of our time in Lisbon.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The many ferries crossing the mouth of the Tagus are very relaxing and offer both excellent views and great tanning possibilities. I tried the one from Praça do Comércio to the South bank and back and the one from Belém which is a convenient way of getting to the Caparica beach just round the corner from landing.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Small simple elegant hostel/hotel. Spotless with impeccable wooden floors everywhere. Very close to the action and with a tiny park in front - used by winos, but the police station is next door. On the bus route to the airport and close to the central station. Very reasonably priced. A real snip!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A traditional Alentejan joint in Bairro Alto, where diminutive space is inversionally proportional to the food quality. Forget the mercurial service: the gambas ao alho (garlic sauce shrimps) may be the best you´ll ever taste. Nice value, too.]]></description>
