This was our itinerary. It was a whirlwind trip and I'm not sure it really gave us a feel for any area, other than the Algarve. My wife didn't like the beach life that much. Neither of us were interested in the busyness of Lisbon. We loved it on the Silver coast and up North. We plan to go back and spend a couple weeks in the North before we retire.

We did 2 weeks in Portugal a couple years ago, it wasn't enough time to see more than the major cities/areas. But that was partially because we wanted to see all the stuff. We just completed a week in Barcelona. I feel like we had a good sense of what the city has to offer and we got to site see. Originally, I was wanting to spend 2 weeks touring around Spain, but I realized we would only get a couple days in each major city. Hope that helps.
