theDIBB - View Single Post - Portugal in October 2020- what’s the weather like and should I book last minute?

I'm assuming you're either a teacher or have school aged children so therefore I personally wouldn't book in advance. I say this as someone who went to Majorca on 31st July and only returned to work yesterday, 24th August.

I wouldn't risk the uncertainty of it being cancelled again or having the worry of being forced to quarantine and missing another two weeks of school.

Most places in the Balearics are closing and I'd hazard a guess Portugal won't have much open by then if anything.

I'd love another holiyin October but for me, I'm waiting to see the effects of schools reopening and the start of autumn before committing to anything.

That said if you do book, make sure you can cancel/change at last minute without losing a load of money or at least get vouchers for next year.
