What is the National Cycle Touring Network?
It's a project conceived by a Portuguese road project engineer and an enthusiast of long distance travel by bicycle, whose aim is to identify a network across the country with the best infrastructure for bicycle travel in tourism mode.

What is the Road Book 2020?
It's a travel guide, exclusively in digital PDF format (without paper edition) that identifies the most beautiful roads with reduced car traffic in Portugal, identified exclusively through satellite georeferencing (without the need for expensive vertical signs). Based on the existing road network, including cycle paths, rails-to-trail, greenways and macadam roads, this project selects for you the best routes that lead you to visit the most beautiful and surprising landscapes in the country.

The 2020 edition presents a total of 5283 km, about 66% of the 8000 km expected by 2025. The pavements are mostly made of asphalt with some insursions on roads paved with macadam, compacted soil, wood or thick pavement.
