Portugal N2 End Touring Bike Holiday

Portugal’s “Route 66” is a tourism attraction based upon the N2 road that runs from Faro in the South all the way to Chaves in the North of Portugal some 738.5 kms in total. The N2 is over 70 years old and it is the longest continuous road in Portugal crossing 4 mountain ranges, 11 rivers and 29 municipalities, with tremendous variety in scenery & landscapes along the way. The road doesn’t have the same economic importance that it once had and has now been largely superseded by the nations motorway network, making the now quieter old road particularly interesting for tourism purposes and this of course includes long distance cycle tourism.
