Motorcycle routes in Portugal 🇵🇹

Portugal offers surprising variety for riders: the Serra da Estrela (1,993 m), the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, the Algarve cliffs, the medieval schist villages, the Peneda-Gerês National Park and the empty roads of the Alentejo. All within a few hours of the Spanish border.
Well-maintained roads on the main axes, technical inland. Light traffic outside Lisbon and Porto. Fuel is dearer than in Spain. Long season: nearly all year in the south, May to October in the north.
