This will be a bit long story (spread over a few posts) of bicycle vacation in Portugal. This was our first time (for my girlfriend and me) to try to go for bicycle vacation. We had 11 days (14 - 3 in Lisbon) to go from Lisbon to Albufeira, ~400km, so 30-50 per day, in quite relaxed pace, 3-5 hours of cycling and ~half of day left for walking around, eating great dinners and having some nice wine....
We took bikes with us (took some bike boxes from local bicycle store and packed bicycles into it for plane), packed ourselves into 2 side bags each and off we go ...
In the evening we were planning the next day route and how far we would plan to get and booked the hotel for next day.
I had x-e1 and x-m1 + 14, 35 and 55-200 , carrying it in waist salomon bag (not photo dedicated bag).
First set is from Lisbon. We spend first 3 days in Lisbon, enjoyed it on foot, just cycled from the airport to our apartment in city centre and then did some walking around the city.
