Viewpoints, villages and panoramas every motorcyclist should know.

Portugal fits into a single tank of fuel but offers landscapes for a lifetime. Here are ten places worth any detour.

1. São Leonardo da Galafura viewpoint. The Douro seen from above, terraces as far as the eye can see. Best at sunset.

2. Torre da Serra da Estrela. 1,993m and the feeling of standing on top of the country.

3. Cabo de São Vicente. The end of Europe and the endless Atlantic.

4. Village of Piódão. Schist and slate in an amphitheatre above the valley.

5. Praia da Marinha. Ochre cliffs and turquoise water.

6. Zêzere Glacial Valley. A perfect U carved by ice.

7. Peneda-Gerês. The country’s only national park.

8. Foz Côa. 25,000-year-old open-air rock art.

9. Serra da Arrábida. The Mediterranean in Portuguese lands.

10. Sortelha. A medieval fortified village, almost untouched.

These are places truly worth stopping. Save 15 minutes for each in your roadbook.
