Trying to decide between the following two trips:
- Portugal: Porto > Lisbon > Lagos
- Spain: Barcelona > Ibiza > Mallorca

Which do you think is better for a week long vacation in end of September or early October?

I would prefer Portugal but that’s just personal preference (cleaner, nice people and lovely country)

like

I do not golf, though I have been telling myself for years that I need to take lessons.

I like tropical/beach vacations where I can wander around a village or small city and eat at different restaurants, pop into little boutiques, lay out on the beach, charter a boat, etc. So more looking to relax without tons of plans.

Feel like these are very different trips. Are you trying to chill or are you trying to party?

like

That makes sense, but I’m not big on city trips and love the beach. So trying to find a way to enjoy the beach. I mean - if I go to Ibiza or Mallorca I wouldn’t go to parties - is that feasible or is it just parties everywhere all the time with no luxury hotels that are more focused on clients looking to relax?

I’ve done both, and would have a hard time deciding. Can’t go wrong.

like

If you choose Spain, Tons of stuff to do in Mallorca besides partying.

The northern coast near Deia, Port de soller is stunning.

would skip Ibiza altogether and/or do formentera (much more chill).

like

I would probably pick two given you only have a week, but if you want to do three, those are the three. Formentera will have much nicer beaches than Mallorca.

Mallorca will have way more cool beach/mountain towns to wander in/out of (Valdemossa, deia, port soller, sa calobra, andratx, etc.)

like

Instead of Ibiza and Mallorca, do Menora.

like

A more fair comparison would be against Barcelona>Seville> Malaga

You could go to the azores. More chill than Ibiza.

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
