Hungry but happy, thats good. Sometimes maneuvering a vehicle is more a male thing for some reason I dont understand. The bridge was easy, the imagination was tricking us, I wonder why? Crazy courage wins. A very nice vlog, with all ducks in line. Eat, rest, and be ready to carry me all day again tomorrow. Thanks and take care.
Rule nº 1 in Portugal for me, always travel north/south. I made that bridge with road closed, with fog, where only the sea could be heard. There's no life like rich life. May 2022.
Imagine the part between Mira and Figueira to Nazare full of pine trees. Wild fires took it all. The paper industrie near by were more than happy to buy cheap wood… A lot of fires around here, too much in my opinion… In Portugal we are still stuck in the ideia that having a car is like breathing, you must have a car and if you go around in a bike you are poor and cant afford one. To make it worst people dont respect you in a bike. Cooblestone is good, cars dont like it so they go slower or avoid it. Maybe cooblestone saved you from having a bad experience. Really like your work, maybe you can give another chance to Portugal and the 'Tugas' living around here 🙂
it's quite frustrating at times for a few reasons.
1. those bikes are seriously too big. yours is probably 4 sizes too large. less so for alex but still probably 2 sizes.
2. you bought aluminium bikes which are stiff with no flex and no compliancy but complain any time there's a bump.
3. you are using road tyres with high pressure whilst complaining about bumpy roads and cobbles. let some air out of the tyres and/or get fatter ones to ease the ride.
great trip though, enjoying it apart from the complaining about the bikes

That kind of landscape with the sand and the pine forest is really nice, a synonym of Summer and holidays 🙂
I remember Figueria da Fox and it was beautiful. Part of my Portuguese caminho

Is the Eurovelo 1 route well signposted in Portugal?
