We are staying at Quatiera for a week (nr Faro) and then doing a 6 night tour.
1...Has anyone taken a bike (or tandem!) on the regional train on the line Faro-Lagos?
2...Route120 north from Sagres (South-east cape) towards Lisbon. Is this a suitable road for cycling or a busy trunk road?
Going end of April.
Any other comments welcome. We are staying in Hotels etc on the tour.

    Q1 - www.seat61.com might be worth a shot.
  • train from Faro to Lagos takes bikes about 9 eoros all the way station about 3 k from Faro aiport they run about every hour.

    The only road up the west coast to Lisbon as far as I know goes from Villa de Bispo which is on the N125 between Lagos and Sagres
