Pytheas's choice

Globespot of the month

Set-up

Every month, we ask somebody to be a modern Pytheas and tell us something about the most amazing place they have ever experienced, and explain why this is!

Globespot of the month: Praia do Guincho, Portugal

Maurice The Pytehas of this week is our own RouteYou-er Philiep Van Der Putten. As wine expert, motorcruiser, geographer and travelling salesman, he has seen many corners of the world. The place he liked the most is Praia do Gaucho...


Portugal
As Pytheas of this month I've chosen a wonderfull peace of nature at the Portuguese coast, West of Lisboa. Take your bike and ride along the coastal road (N247-7) between Cascaïs and surfers' beach Praia do Guincho (around 10Km). In the second half of the route you stop along the road and take the time to calm down, enjoying the rough game that the ocean waves play with the rocky coast. The photo's try to give you a first impression, but there's nothing like the real experience of standing there in spring, autumn or winter... I can enjoy this for hours!
