    Would love to get some road suggestions from locals.

    Plan is to get a GS1200 in Porto, and ride to Lisbon. I notice on Google Maps that to the East of Porto there are some great looking roads. Would love to go initially East, then south to Lisbon.

    Plan is to leave Porto at 8am, make it to Lisbon around 8pm latest.

    All road suggestions much appreciated!

    sorry, maybe too late and you're already back home...


    I would suggest to follow the N2... it's an old very twisty road with very nice scenery.
    Does not start in Porto, drive to Vila Real with the A4.
    You can find the complete road here:

    It's a long way around but it's worth it.

    Or, along the coast with more traffic (I preffer the N2):
