[@alfredoalmeida6754]

Que tenham gostado e venham sempre. O interior de Portugal, estrada N2, de Chaves a Faro, também é uma maravilha. Abraço desde Aveiro 🇵🇹

The eurovelo cycling path from Costa Nova to Figueira da Foz has been improved with new pavement and paths and it has vertical signs and pavement markings. And the collapsed bridge was redone 1 year ago.

[@travelmuch]

That is very good news. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea what is the Santiago route state from Porto to Compostela?

[@MrGustavodamas]

@@travelmuch No, sorry.

Love the video. Really tells what you are gonna get doing this with no sugarcoat. EV1 really deserved a tune up, with updated gpx files and in my opinion in Aveiro Lagoon a diferent route that goes by Aveiro City. Waiting for the video of the Lisbon - Algarve ;)

[@singlehuettenwanderung494]

Yes me too. Is Lisbon Algarve more challenging?

[@vicbln2120]

Enjoyed watching the trip; what co. was it organized through! Would love to sign on to such trips!

[@travelmuch]

Hello. I'm very pleased u enjoyed our trip. It was not organized with a company, we were just a bunch of friends who wanted to do this trail, we did some research online and organized the journey by ourselves. There were a lot of useful information on the eurovelo portugal website

[@singlehuettenwanderung494]

But where did you rent the bikes please? Did you return them in Lisbon or Porto?

[@travelmuch]

@singlehuettenwanderung494 hello. We rented the bikes in Porto, from vieguini. You will find their website online. And they give the possibility to drop off the bikes in Lisbon, for a fee. Let me know if you need the exact website and I can send it. Thanks

1:26 - 1:37 why did u cycle this way and not along the beach? I'm planning a bike trip next year and am doing some research. :) Came across ur video.

[@travelmuch]

Hi! Thanks for your comment. We were following the Eurovelo GPX track on that day (and on most of the days) and it took us through the Aveiro Lagoon. There was an alternative to it, but it wasn't actually olong the beach, it was along a national road. We were not aware of any cycle path closer to the beach either. We did love the Lagoon, it was very spectacular. If it helps, I can share the gpx tracks. Best of luck with your trip

[@shortcityvlogs]

@@travelmuch thanks for the quick reply. I'll take a note that the lagoon was worth it.

Hello, great video. I am going to do a bike tour from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela, April/May 2024. Is the GPS file from Eurovelo reliable? Is it easy to find accommodations along the route? Do I need to book hotels ahead of time or it is easy to find accommodations along the way?

[@travelmuch]

Hi and happy new year. we only did the trail between Porto and Lisbon, and for this section the GPX tracks from eurovelo website are not 100% updated. we got several times detoured and we compensated with google maps. as for accomodation, we found it easily, for a group of 6, using booking. we usually did it 1-2 days in advance. Best of luck with your trip!

[@elrhew]

Awesome video! Could you share your gpx files? I am planning it for this summer and would be awesome to know whoch roads work!

[@travelmuch]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Sure, I could send the gpx tracks. Let me know where can I send them.

[@MrWpauk]

Where You rent the bycicles in Porto? Was it inclusive return to Porto?

[@travelmuch]

Hello. We rented the bikes in porto, from vieguini and we dropped them in lisbon. We strongly recommend them. They can arrange drop off on other locations as well.

[@MrWpauk]

@@travelmuch Thanks for the Shop 👍

[@singlehuettenwanderung494]

Great thanks

[@eugenmalatov5470]

90km or 100km on a day? With a lot of luggage and film equipment! Wow!! This would be too much for me. I also want to have some time to visit places and not have to get up at 7am.

[@travelmuch]

Hi! yes, it was a strech for us as well, but we had a limited amount of time at our disposal. Indeed, when possible, it would be great to do it at leasure...
