What is the National Cycle Touring Network?
It is a project conceived by a road project engineer who is enthusiastic about long-distance cycling trips, whose aim is to identify a network throughout the country with the best infrastructure for cycling trips in tourism mode.
What is Road Book 2021?
It is a guide, exclusively in PDF digital format (without paper edition) that identifies the most beautiful roads with low car traffic in Portugal, identified exclusively through satellite georeferencing, without the need for expensive vertical signage. Based on the existing road network, including cycle paths, greenways, rails-to-trails and macadam roads, this project selects for you the best routes that take you to visit the most beautiful and surprising landscapes in the country.
The 2021 edition presents you with a total of 5865 km, about 73% of the 8000 km planned to be identified by 2025. The pavements are mostly in asphalt with some insurgence in roads paved with macadam, compacted soil, wood or thick pavement, easy to go through by anyone on a bike.
