Portugal is a unitary semi-presidential republic in South-Western Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal has a population of 10.5 million people, and covers an area of 92,212 square kilometers. It is also the westernmost country of mainland Europe. Portugal is recognised for having the world’s first global empire in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was one of the world’s major economic, political and military powers.
From a cycling perspective, Portugal is one of Western Europe’s most beautiful places to cycle. From coast to gorgeous coast, the Algarve region in particular is famous for it’s fantastic views of the Atlantic ocean and wonderful ocean-side villas. The Portugese capital of Lisbon is home to some brilliant architecture, as well as the general hustle and bustle of a major city. Portugal’s road riding is excellent and the terrain is mostly flat, although there are some tricky hills in the country’s northern region.
