Look at nostr:npub1yrf6e774ggeylt7e7s784jv9ydawv5c4z5zj4arvvs04q7lkulvqdgkaz3 tweets. I think he really liked the French Riviera. The rest of Europe is a communist hellscape lol

🙏🏼

Not beach advice but loved Porto

Lagos, Portugal is pretty good.

Looking here at the moment, havent heard a bad thing yet

It's a cool place, great hidden beaches among little coves dotted along the cliffs, bars, restaurants and some archaeological sites further inland.

Won a beer bong comp in a bar there once, against rugby players, one of my greatest triumphs. 😂

Sounds just like what im looking for

And i mean beating rugby players at drinking games aint for the weak

The southwest coast of Portugal is real nice. Enjoyed everywhere I went in the Algarve

Looking for what? French riviera is nice, lots of great culture and food but also southern Spain has good beach bars and restaurants in summer. Malaga coast fantastic but quite built up. Cadiz coastline around Conil area stunning. Make sure to try the bluefin tuna and retinto beef and go up to see Vejer de la frontera. Portugal is also great. You want to take a weather risk for something a little different, try northern Spain around Basque country and Asturias. Especially if you like cider. Bilbao is a great culinary experience on the way. Too many options. Lots of coast. What are you looking for?

Sick, thanks for the tips…mostly im just looking for Good beaches + good food + good people

Any sport? Look up Tarifa. Its windy.... like really windy but that makes it a kite surfing destination. Great parties, people from all over and good food. Only negative is traffic due to number of people that flock there. Some stunning scenery there and you can go slightly quiet day at bolonia

im a mountain guy so i dont know how to do any of the cool shit in the water, but surf lessons or something like thatd be dope!

Look up tarifa for kite surfing. Portugal probably better for surf though as long as on western coast, not south as doesn't get swells. The meditteranean (Costa del Sol malaga area of Spain and all French riviera), you aint getting waves.

Thanks dude, this is super useful

Any time. If you do choose and curious, ping me a note. Depending where, I may be able to make a few more specific suggestions

Also don't discount the western med French coast. Do a quick search on stuff around Perpignan.

Small towns are the best European towns. I randomly drove into a Portuguese town that was having a vino verde festival and it was the best food/wine pairing. Locals were cool, happy and tipsy
