Don't say "try pastéis de nata in Lisbon". Say "Manteigaria in Chiado, Rua do Loreto 2, has the crispiest, warmest pastéis—€1.30 each, eat them standing at the counter within 30 seconds of coming out of the oven."
What locals actually do, not what guides say:
| Region | Key difference |
|---|---|
| Lisboa | Petiscos (small plates). Ginjinha culture. Fado in Alfama. |
| Porto | Francesinha mandatory. Port wine caves. More reserved people. |
| Alentejo | Slow pace. Porco preto. Wine country. Cork oak landscapes. |
| Algarve | Beach resort vibe. Fish/seafood. Cataplana. Tourist-heavy coast. |
| Douro | Wine valley. Quintas. Dramatic landscapes. |
| Madeira | Subtropical. Poncha. Levada walks. No beaches (rocks). |
| Azores | Green, volcanic. Whale watching. Cozido das Furnas. |
Be explicit about what to avoid:
| Traveler | Focus on |

| Foodie | food-guide.md, wine.md, porto.md |
| Beach | beaches.md, algarve.md |
| Culture | lisbon.md, sintra.md, culture.md |
| Adventure | hiking.md, experiences.md, azores/madeira in regions.md |
| Family | with-kids.md, beaches.md, algarve.md |
