International / First-Time Solo in Portugal: Seeking Algarve Advice for Fall
« on: April 04, 2024, 09:17:11 pm »
Hi everyone!
I am thinking about going solo to Portugal in the fall of 2025. I seek advice from people who have traveled to Portugal, as it will be my first time to visit the country. I cannot speak Portuguese, so this makes me feel somewhat anxious about the trip. I discovered a thread at https://forums.adventurecycling.org/index.php?topic=15884.0; however, there are no responses there.
I am thinking of traveling to the southern part, most likely Algarve, because many people tell me it has very nice views and paths for biking. If you’ve been there around fall, I’d be grateful for any insights on the climate and navigating the language difference.
I’m also curious about your favorite local spots to stay or eat. Are there any local specialties or lesser-known spots that you’d recommend?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and guidance!
