Basically a couple of years ago my dad had enough of living in this country an decided to more else where, he ended up going to Portugal and doing up a house ect... to live in. Here are just afew pics from when I last went to visit. The roads there are amazing to say the least, imgine the best roads you can think of twisting throught the mountains. I keep saying im going to drive accross but it all goes down to lack of money. Not really got any good pics of the road but you get the idea anyway, plus all of this in pretty much in his back garden.

Also you can probably tell from the pics that alot of the trees are burnt to the ground, well thats because the area suffered from forest fires rather bad due to the heat an lack of rain at the time. The fires seemed to come from all directions but stpoed within about a mile of the house all around. Quite strange to drive through miles an miles of forest thats all burnt to the ground

my mums got a place in spain and lives near well known roads for tourer bikes etc and the roads are just amazing! super smooth, empty, nearly always dry, theres never any litter n crap on the roads and no speed camers or speed traps.

havnt had the chance to test them out though.
