Portugal is a lovely country to visit and very conducive for black people. Been about four time and planning to go for a week when I can fit it in.
The Algarve is bueatiful for real and you can get some real sweet package deals which include a car and nice quality departments if you look around.

Soulstarr. Sorry being typical man. My girlfriend use to handle all the details. So I cannot remember. But keep looking because it was from an established company but I can't remember the name. There are quite a few and it cost us no more than £600.00 each and we got a bueatiful coastal apartment and a car thrown in.
Also stayed in a fishing village called Nazereah which was in the middle of a working village and with its own small bull ring and not very far from Porto where I went to watch them play.
But keep on searching the net I am sure you will get a great deal because the last time we went was years ago and the market is far more competitive now so cheaper prices.

Really Fred?
I hear so many different things about black people and travel I don't know who to trust. I know a black woman that had a nightmare experience in Portugal, and said they were appalingly racist. I know a black portugese person that said the same
Then again, I know a rastafarian woman that went to Bulgaria on business and said that the people there were lovely and very friendly. I guess everyone has different experiences of different places. I would never have though a black person could have a positive experience in Bulgaria.

Theonesthatstands. Really bro and I say this all the time if I was ever to buy a place in Europe it would be in Portugual for real. The only 'problem' I had was men whistling at my woman. Those Latin guys if they see a bueatiful black woman they think nothing of showing it and not being disrespectful at all.
Found it confusing first and wanted to kick arse until an older Portuguese man told my what a bueatiful senorita i had and warned me to expect male comments but to feel no way. but if you can put up with the male response in parts of Jamaica Portugual and Spain is a cake walk.
But I was so surprised how so much of the food is similar to Caribbean food and when I went to enquire at this restaurant, I glimsped African women in the kitchen so everything fell in place.
Bought an apartment in Bulgaria last year. So agree with your friend.
Now France I dislike with a passion but my woman and others have had great fun there. So life is a bit like that. But I think being a man in some countries can work against you and for you. My brothers got big love in parts of Spain etc because they are big powerful and muscular guys and Latins like that and the men complment them on their physiques and women blush..
So its a funny funny world.
