From the lush vineyards of the Douro Valley to the golden plains of Alentejo, our N2- end to end Portugal Challenge takes you on a historical journey, passing ancient castles, Roman ruins, and medieval towns.
The N2 is more than just a road; it's a pathway to the authentic charm of Portugal's rural life.
