I havn't seen a great deal of mention about Portugal as a biking destination. looking at a michelin map the place looks stuffed full of brilliant roads - wondered why its not more popular? Anyone tried it?
Went there couple of years ago, driving was dreadful. Was following a large 4x4 downhill in the wet, still raining. He had the vehicle completely on the wrong side of the road leading in to blind sharp bends to make the quickest line
You can imagine how glad we were to be behind him & not coming the other way. He was shifting & it was just not funny.
civered mostly northern portugal last year (sept)
i can reccomend it . We kept to the coast mostly venturing inland now and again, cheap, people friendly and mostly helpful.
Went into Portugal last year while on a tour of northern Spain, we thought it was great, no problems, wer'e going back this year for a bit more of Portugal.
