What to Pack For Portugal — Including the $17 Hair Brush That Saved Me at the Beach

The Fantastic World of the Portuguese Sardine Crazy for Sardines Set ($119)

OK, so maybe this is the type of thing you'd pack in your suitcase on the way home, but sardines absolutely deserve a mention. You'll spot The Fantastic World of the Portuguese Sardine storefronts in most of Portugal's major cities (and even in the airport), but the quality is truly delicious — and for good reason! Sardines are abundant in Portugal's Atlantic fishing region, leading to a historical fishing and canning industry that has made the sardine a national symbol associated with Portuguese heritage. You can shop the original brand in every form and flavor while you're sightseeing, but get in the mood by packing this Fishwife Sardine Quad 4-Pack ($37) in your carry-on bag for snacking during your journey.
