In general, the Spanish and Portuguese like to look very put together, so big T-shirts and flip flops are not suggested. For tourism during the day, we recommend jeans or slacks, a shirt and comfortable shoes. For most tapas and petiscos restaurants, nice casual wear is fine. For a more formal restaurant, we suggest collared shirts for men and a dress or nice blouse for women. If you plan to entire any churches and have a tank top on, make sure and have a scarf or jacket to put on as they will not let you enter the church without sleeves.
