TheGrio Green Book is a modern-day twist on the historic African American Green Book, which guided Black travelers to welcoming and safe places across the country. We continue this tradition with hope, joy, and the will to explore places that were once only dreams for our ancestors—or where our diasporic roots run deep. These are our tips, reviews, and advice for #TravelingWhileBlack.

The unofficial movement to board a plane, cross the Atlantic Ocean, and visit Portugal is officially on. More and more of us are making the trip and reporting back about Europe’s best-kept secret—bordering Spain and just a short flight from France and Morocco.
