Portugal Spring 2014 - Not for the faint-hearted...

Thanks for your kind words, Terry!

Most of us used TopoLusitania on a Garmin Montana - great detail and accuracy. Of course, with CityNavigator (to find fuel and routing on tarmac) and a paper road map (to see where you actually are in Portugal and for overall planning) as back-ups.

Have fun in September!

Thanks.

Paper maps were amusing - best we found were 1:200,000, which is a bit like navigating by looking at a picture of the earth, and the road signs and numbers didnt always seen to correspond.

Interested to see the story involving the Police, we also had some dealings and I cant say they were necessarily positive.

Ive spent the last year looking forward to going back though, cant wait!

There may be trouble ahead.....a revisit next week could getting messy!

Dude, you seem to spend more time over there than in the UK

Be quiet, let him be, better for the rest of us......

Thanks for sharing this super travel story!

I know this is old but does anyone have a rec for a hotel in chaves with secure parking for dirt bikes?

What do you mean by secure parking for bikes? A couple of nights or long term parking?
