Portugal is a feast for the senses. The landforms are dramatic, stretching from the jagged coastline of the Atlantic Ocean to the towering mountains of the Iberian interior. The cities, towns, and villages are full of life and echo the spirit of medieval Europe through stunning art and architecture. The gastronomy is diverse and flavorful, enriched by an age-old wine making tradition. And the roads are spread far and wide, connecting all of these elements that make Portugal such a joy to uncover - a cyclist's dream come true.
From the windswept, wave-battered bluffs of the Atlantic coast to the glacial valleys and rising plateaus of the Serra da Estrella, Portugal has a captivating geography. These landscapes are made all the more mesmerizing by the ways in which the Portuguese have re-shaped them over many centuries, such as the terraced vineyards etched into the rolling, sun-kissed hills of the Douro Valley; one of Europe's most picturesque wine regions.
A visit to Portugal transports you back in time to medieval Europe. Grand monuments - like the Convent of Christ in Tomar built by the Knights Templar or the Monastery of AlcobaƧa commissioned by Portugal's first monarch - make you appreciate the country's former grandeur. But it is the more hidden gems - like centuries' old villages made of stone and battle-hardened castles perched on hilltops - which really capture the imagination.
Fun fact: Widely regarded as one of Europe's least expensive countries, a visit to Portugal means you can discover Old World charm without breaking the bank!
