Thread: Portugal over Christmas/NYE - Best Base

We are 40ish couple thinking of a 10 day holiday in Portugal over Christmas - don't have a driver's license so will be relying on public transport. We would be renting a self-catering apt.

Want to be based near water, the ocean or a river. Not sure if we would like to being IN a big city like Lisbon, though maybe on the outskirts where we could commute in if we wanted.

Don't really want big crowds or touristy/resort hot spots.

We are trying to keep the budget as low as possible but willing to spend a bit if need be

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated
Thanks
