JD,

If you are planning on staying at some of the Pousadas, you may have a "problem" with room availability on the "weekends" without benefit of advance reservations.

Also, some of the pousadas are more popular than others, and book up early mid-week (even in the month of October.)

On one trip to Portugal in late November, two of my Pousada choices did not have room availability. (That was with a one month advance reservation request.)

Look at the Pousada choices and compare them to your planned itinerary. If there are "one or two" that you have your "heart set on", I would make advance reservations or you may risk the possibility of not getting a room.

In addition to the pousadas, many quintas offer very special accommodations.

Find the recent trip report by easygoer. Excellent for north Portugal.
The Pousadas are great--we have stayed at 6 of them.

Bob,
this link does not produce any report.
Also, how do you find these thread numbers like this?

He probably meant this one: http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessa...p;tid=34524795

Find the thread you want to reference (use the search function, say, looking for "pousada&quot, then right-click on the message header, say "copy shortcut," and paste it into the message box. I usually remove the "search" that follows the actual thread number (tid=xxxxxxxx).
