Bikepacking in Portugal (EV1)

A few weeks ago I asked for advice and experiences about bikepacking in Portugal. I did the trip (mainly EV1, solo female biker), that's how it went:

tl;dr
It was exhausting (altitude), dusty and I really enjoyed it. Definite recommendation!

Here's everything in detail:

The route:
– Start in Porto (I flew with KLM, my bike cost 55€ extra as sports luggage, there were even tools at the airport to mount my bike) to Albufeira to visit friends.
– I orientated myself on this Komoot route
– I cycled a total of 962km and over 7000 metres in altitude
– Duration 12 days (including 1 break day, the last days were short distances due to the heat) from 20th May to 01 June
– Mix of gravel and loose ground, road and cycle paths

Overnight stay:
– Mainly camping, 1 wild camping, 3 hostels

Navigation:
– I bought a Coros Dura before the tour (previously I had the Wahoo Bolt 2, which I didn't like). I used the Dura for the first time on the tour and was very satisfied and I didn't even have to recharge it.

Overall impression:
– A great mix of hinterland and coastal views, nice people, mainly quite considerate drivers. I really enjoyed it and can recommend it (also as a woman travelling alone)
