Rising Cock - Lagos, Portugal
My first stop into Portugal will be tough to top. Having met a few awesome people at Samay in Sevilla, I did the first group travel thing with about 4 others to Lagos Portugal. The city is like a 1950s beach town (think Amity from Jaws without the sharks) and the Rising Cock hostel is the college dorm I never had.
The town encourages the type of long term traveler who has a week or more to kill and doesn't feel the need to see the sites since the sites are the beach and bizarro rock formations. Free crepes every morning and free internet. Awesome hostel, easily in my top three ever! (I am inclined to say best)
Recommended to people that aren't even coming to Portugal.
