The Algarve is the least Portuguese part of Portugal. It is overrun by the English, and it's not very pleasant. The beaches are abolutely stunning, but the rest, well, it's a touristic paradise.
Lisbon is not a shithole at all. It is just very, very busy, and the streets are narrow and lots of one way streets, and roundabouts and it's very big, etc.

Portugal is a stunning country and completely worth a trip. After 5 and a half years here, there are still places I want to visit and places I would happily return to again and again.
