Portugal 2025

We are off on our annual trip away at the beginning of October, this time heading to Portugal. We are planning on following a North to South route and I have picked up three routes from Wikiloc which look good. The purple route is the one JK Overland did and the YouTube vids of their trip looked good.

We've got just over two weeks so if anyone has any recommendations with regards places to go and see or routes to follow they would be gratefully received.

The southern part particularly would be of interest as I am undecided at the moment whether to follow the purple and green routes along the Spanish border for longer or cut across higher up, following the blue route, and take in more of the coast?

Cheers

Simon

We tried to follow the JKOverland route north of Badajoz this year and found many locked gates and impassable sections, in the end we gave up and followed some other routes.

The TET is always a good shout, and is usually pretty up to date.

Thanks for that..... Did you rejoin further north or give up entirely on it?

We used other routes but were only in Portugal for 3 or 4 days. The route might be okay in other areas.
