- Drive-by Sintra mountain and its unique castles, with a pass by the most western point in continental Europe (Cabo da Roca), before heading to Lisbon’s West coast with its off-road, breathtaking mountain roads, and ferry crossing to the other margin
- Off-road in clifs by the sea-side in Costa Vicentina
- St. Domingos Mines near Mértola, a scenery pulled out of a Mad Max movie that always amazes
about the road:
We will mostly use secondary roads, with tarmac ranging from new and in great condition, to countryside roads with holes, no road marks, and tarmac lifted from tree roots. The off – road sections will mainly be rolling gravel roads, with the occasional difficulty, like water crossings, ruts, short sandy sections, and possibly some muddy sections due to the season. Be prepared for winding mountain roads and some offroad on the cliffs. You will never forget these views.
SPEED:
It is not a race, and we care about safety: We will be going at our own pace and make sure all participants reach destination safely.
WEATHER:
The weather at this time of year is generally good, but as always in the mountains, you have to be prepared for all types of weather conditions and quick changes. It is cooler at night (can be as low as 5C). During the day 17C to 21c. Some short rain episodes are possible.
REMEMBER:
Remember this is a motorcycle trip, so you have to use adequate gear.
