Been loving travel posts on this sub so decided to share about the little adventure I went on this year!
In May I decided to take some months off and cycle Europe (and Peru).
I was mostly attracted to cycling off road and discovering some countries I lived in or near to and experience the life in some more rural areas.
The European Divide Trail seemed like a great route to start my adventure with so I flew to Lisbon and started cycling south to Sagres to get to the start of the route.
I then ended up cycling across Portugal, Spain and France, following the EDT, to reach my hometown in Grenoble (also doing some little side trips with friends on the way).
This first post focuses on Portugal, I absolutely loved the first few days of riding south from Lisbon. The coast there is beautiful, and I remember riding on some hiking/cycling paths with beautiful views on the ocean.
I mostly camped in campgrounds for this portion of the trip, that coast is relatively touristy and pitching my tent in a campground was quite cheap (around 10-20 euros a night if I remember correctly). The weather was not super hot yet so I really enjoyed myself.
After reaching Sagres the landscape changed quite a bit, heading away from the coast into the country side, going through vineyards, fields and cute little towns.
