Welcome to Simple Travel Path — your friendly guide to exploring Portugal the easy, affordable, and meaningful way.
At SimpleTravelPath.com, we believe that travel doesn’t need to be complicated, expensive, or overwhelming. It’s not about ticking off famous landmarks or chasing luxury hotels. It’s about slowing down, discovering local culture, and finding joy in the small, authentic experiences that make each journey special.
Our mission is simple: to help travelers discover the real Portugal — one peaceful path at a time.
Our Story
Simple Travel Path was born out of a love for slow travel and everyday discovery. After visiting Portugal’s calm countryside, charming fishing villages, and local cafés tucked away from the crowds, we realized something important — the best travel moments aren’t always found in guidebooks.
We wanted to build a space where anyone — whether you’re a solo traveler, a family, or a couple — could find honest, helpful, and easy-to-follow travel inspiration without the noise of commercial tourism.
Our content focuses on simplicity, authenticity, and accessibility.
We share itineraries, hidden gems, and budget-friendly tips that make traveling Portugal easier for everyone. From scenic road trips through the Algarve to quiet hikes in the Douro Valley, we show you how to travel smart and enjoy more with less.

Our Philosophy
We believe that travel is not about luxury — it’s about connection.
Connection with people, with nature, with history, and with yourself. That’s why every post we publish follows three key values:
- Simplicity — Easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to enjoy.
- Honesty — Real advice based on personal exploration, not sponsored hype.
- Respect — For local culture, environment, and communities.
We aim to encourage responsible travel. That means respecting local customs, supporting small businesses, and leaving every place better than we found it.
