I went there to cycle for 4-5 days only, from just under Lisbon along the voast to the most southwestern cape, then to faro to catch my flight. Weather wasn’t great (because of rain and relentless headwind), but as Robert Pirsig says: physical discomfort is important only when the mood is wrong.
I really enjoyed it, tried to do 100km/day of which 30-40% gravel. Campsites were open in low season, prices were great (also for food) and the coastline is just really beautiful. Traffic was pretty considerate to me as a cyclist, had to do a couple of sprints to evade dogs.
Would recommend!
