Here are my statistics for Portugal:
29.6.some 30km – leaving Tamera in dusk
30.6 some 90km till Setubal, from there the train to Oeiras
1.7.-3.7. resting and equipping myself in Lisbon – got a simple bike computer
4.7. 47,32km – starting after the noon heat to take the beautiful costal road around Sintra till Aguda beach
5.7. 107,4 km rather boring hills and coast
6.7.82,33 km to Leira, through the Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros – with a lot of traffic and industry for a natural park
7.7.66,52 km turning more inside the country, getting more interesting, more traditional
8.7.62,41 km beautiful hills around Dornes & Rio Zezere
9.7.82,39 km on top of the hills
10.7.40,01 up to Torre/ Serra da Estrela
11.7.68,7 km downhill and to the rainbow @ Rio Mondego
12.7.Rest day on the rainbow
13.7.37,65km from now on I am ignoring the map – heading north east
14.7.66,90 km more and more empty streets, lots of forest, ending in a deep river valley of Rio Pavia – N323 – feels like I reached Spain
15.7.88,29 km down Rio Pavia, up Rio Douro: N323, N222 and others Ns with 2s and 3s
16.7.62,27 km following R15 towards Braganca, its like a giant bikepath, all the traffic runs on the parallel IP4
17.7. 56,84km reaching Braganca and continuing north through a beautiful national park
Almost 950 km in 15 cycling days through mainly hilly or mountainous terrain – best routes: the coast around Sintra, from Dornes to Torre and N106.3 north of Braganca
