Winter in Portugal (Christmas in Portugal) / What to do in winter?

One of the best things about Portugal during the winter season is that the country is not covered by the dark skies - this makes it stand apart from other countries in Europe.
Portugal experiences a Mediterranean climate which is why it generally has mild to warm winters. The average high rises up to 15°C during the daytime. Although, you must keep some warm clothes with you as the temperature drops to 8°C at night.
Tavira, Lisbon, Alentejo, Serra da Estrela, and Porto are some of the best places that you should head to if you are looking forward to the festivities and celebrations of Christmas.
Christmas (Natal) in Portugal is similar to the festival in other southern European countries. The main day is December 24th. People who moved to the big cities such as Lisbon and Porto from the countryside traditionally return to their home towns.
Traditional sweets usually eaten after the main meal include Bolo Rei (King Cake), a fruit cake, as well as the deep-fried and sugary sonhos and fatias douradas (Portuguese "French" Toast). Bolo Rainha (Queen Cake) has nuts rather than fruit.
These are just a few reasons why Portugal in December is magical.

[@petertowneya]

Thanks for posting the vid Alexandra. You've packed a lot of interesting things into 5 minutes :). I will try to speak Portuguese but I'm wondering about speaking English and how accepting of this Portuguese people are of it. Also, is it easy enough to travel by transport other than car between destinations?

I'll be visiting Lisbon & Porto in February from Toronto, Canada. Temperature is all relative, so going from -5 to 10 degrees will feel like summer 😂

[@AlexandraVictoriaBonte]

November is very rainy and humid however December and January is usually quite nice and sunny

[@VINOTHKUMARSUGUMAR-zu4fn]

Do we need winter clothes to visit Portugal in December or we can manage without them

[@anyasmiller806]

What’s the weather like in February

[@AlexandraVictoriaBonte]

February is quite similar to January, in my experiences really depends on the year, it could be still cold with a lot of rain, or it could be already a bit warmer (but in march it becomes officially warmer) ;)
