6 saunas in 3 cities
Four of the six Portuguese saunas are located in Lisbon. Coimbra and the Algarve each have another — Porto, the country's second-largest city, is not represented in this category.
This makes Lisbon for Portugal what Barcelona is for Spain: the place where it is worth looking. The address in the Algarve, on the other hand, follows the holiday crowd and is seasonal.
There are no closed addresses listed. The legal situation for Portugal has been assessed and is favourable; the details are below.
Portugal is represented in all three categories, but scarce everywhere: six saunas, three gay hotels, three cruising addresses. A small country with an evenly thin blanket.
