Cycling Portugal is a great way to get to know the country, particularly the less urbanised areas, where you’ll find quaint villages, vineyards, fresh fish, Mediterranean cuisine, and, most importantly for epico? Cyclists, no cars. Even though the country lacks large infrastructures such as cycle-paths, it compensates by having excellent back-roads that run from north to south. As a result, the question remains….
