On my last visit there we turned a corner to a wine festival on the day we were heading home. Three or four hours later we got a cab to the airport. 15 minutes after arriving at the airport we discovered there were two terminals in Lisbon airport.

Be sure to go for a wander around the bars of Bairro Alto. Old town area. But its dead before 11pm. The streets in Bairro Alto are literally empty during the day and everything is closed. Transforms at night though
Many the Paddy have their dinner too early in Lisbon and hit the pubs at 9pm and think Lisbon is dead.
Eat late. Drink late. Like the locals
Great city

The Dutch are sound when you are white. One of the most racist bunch of people Iâve ever met

Found a great tiny bar there with a Brazilian rocker behind the bar, rocking out everything from Pearl Jam to Fleetwood Mac. Another place beside it then with a great live band.
The time out market is a good spot to have a bite to eat, hair of the dog and people watch the day after the night before.
We ran into a Dutch lad in his fifties and English woman in her forties and had a few drinks - theyâd met on holiday year before (away with respective spouses and kids) and got in touch afterwards and left their spouses to pursue true love.

Everyone is sound to you when you are white. Thatâs the problem. I didnât have the Dutchies down for being racialist much?
Humid there? I couldnât get over the heavy heat there. Anyone tried selling you drugs yet? Make sure you try the local cakes in that monastery where they make them. Canât recall name, and have some food in the outdoor market.

Not yet, tired last night bailed out around 1030, on the way to Cascais now.
Lisbon soundâs like hell.
It wouldnât suit you. Costa de baked beans is where youâre at home.

Off to a place called Novo Sancti Petri near Cadiz tomorrow, hotel on the beach with 2 Seve designed courses on site, weâre booked in for 3 rounds. All inclusive in the hotel so Iâll do the dog on it on the 
and grub. Great we can go off now anytime with no school to be worrying about, advantage of having the oul childers early doors paying off cc @iron_mike

I wouldnât have any recommendations apart from eat and drink your fill around Cadiz. All I recall is it is cheap, the food and drink is great and the people seem nice enough compared to other parts of Spain. Some lovely beaches, and the camera obscura yolk in the old part of the city is worth a half hour or so. God knows how they maintained golf courses with the lack of rain this year.
Vejer de la Frontera is worth a visit. Gibraltar might be too far for a day trip but worth it for the oddness of it all. But if I were venturing that far, Iâd go to Tarifa / punta paloma / bolonia beach. Zahara de los Atunes would be a bit closer to you as well. Conil as well, some nice beaches etc.
There is a lovely hotel called Hurricance, just outside Tarifa, which is a great place for some lunch or a coffee, and a view across the straits.
Donana national park is fucked, dried up.
I assume you are golfing mainly so might not have much time for heading off for day trips?

Well, I wouldnât have any for Cadiz city to be honest except to ate your way around it! El barrio de la vina is nice. Lovely little bar there I went to , Taberna Casa Manteca. Itâs a small little bit dearer than your average bar but still cheap enough.
Barrio de la ViĂąa - Official Andalusia tourism website (andalucia.org)
If you go to Tarifa, there is a GREAT bun shop there! Should be quieter there too now the schools are back. An awful amount of Germans down that way and Scandinavians.
