May/June in Portugal - suggestions, please
We had planned to visit Portugal in 2020, but it now looks like late spring will be a realistic option since we've been triple-vaccinated and Portugal has among the highest vaccination rates on the Continent. Here's our current plan:
NY=>Lisbon, then drive directly to Evora for two nights.
Hotel:
Convento Do Espinheiro
Restaurants:
Taberna Tipica Quarta Feira
D'Iberica
What else:
Evora Cultural Experience
Drive from Evora to Porto for four nights.
Hotel:
The Yeatman
Restaurants:
Restaurante Chama
The Ribs
Blind
Tasco
What else:
Free walking tour
Douro Valley tour
Food tour
Drive from Porto to Lisbon for five nights.
Hotel:
Pousada do Lisboa
Restaurants:
Epur
Lumi
Versiculo Do Faia
Tabernario Do Bairra
Agulha No Palheiro
What else:
Free walking tour
Small group food tour
Sintra
These are the basic pieces of our plan, which can be extended or modified as appropriate. We look forward to comments and suggestions.
Thank you.

Day trip to Braga from Porto.
Day trip to Douro valley from Porto.
Visit to the port "caves" across the river from Porto, and probably a meal in the Taylor Fladgate restaurant.
Visit to Belem from Lisbon, most especially to the Monasterio de los Jerónimos.
More ideas for Lisbon (dated, but I think still relevant): Loving Lisbon

Several good ideas
Thank you, We already have the Douro Valley and Belem on our list and have noted Braga and the "caves" for our time in Porto. Enjoyed your TR as well, though it's been quite a while since then . . . plus the pandemic.

The Yeaman is not in Porto. It is located in the neighbour city "Vila Nova de Gaia", on the other side of the river. For what I know, it is one of the best hotels in Portugal, and I can assure the views are astonishing, as it is in front of Porto, so the views are kind of a postcard! All the cellars are nearby! But for other actrations of Porto, you must walk, or take a public transport.
