>>1885576>Apparently the south - west coast isn't particularly interestingThere's pretty neat secluded beaches there but other than that is straight roads and not much else, at the end of february the Algarve and Alentejo's coast should be ok for traffic but when you reach Lisbon metro area and up there's lots of really heavy traffic. But if you enjoy pretty views of the ocean then that's your route.
>As for wild camping, I heard the laws were relaxed a bit?No, that's not true. Wildcamping is illegal, simple as that. And due to #vanlife people flooding to Portugal and parking all over the place it generated some animosity some time ago. Now it's not really enforced on campers and most people don't care but if for some reason police sees you, you can be fined. Not likely at all, should be said, but please be mindful of that if you decide to set a tent. Sleeping bag you're fine.
>And what do you mean by safety?I just meant keeping your bike safe if you leave it to go do some errands. Around Setúbal do be aware of gypsies, there's plenty of them there in a couple problematic neighborhoods.
>I see people using the N2 national road to cycleKek that's what I meant by "countryside". I followed that exact route, you go through quainter towns but it's not as impressive as cycling by the ocean. It has less traffic and has indeed developed a scene with both cyclists and bikers, pic related.
