Before you go

• We plotted this through the towns on the N2. In places the old road has been bypassed or renumbered, so our line may leave it. The N2 route association's passport and markers show the exact road.
• Portugal has electronic tolls on some main roads. This line keeps off them, but check if you change it.
• Hot and exposed across the Alentejo in summer. Carry water.

Split it into days

Pick the miles you like to ride in a day. Each day ends at the named place on the route nearest that distance, and you get a GPX file for each day.

This is your pace, not our estimate of how long the riding takes. Day lengths vary because each day ends at a named place.
