Changes

Hitching in Portugal is quite easy. However, it is important that you are protected from the sun. The [[weather]] is, especially in summer, extremely hot. As an alternative to hitchhiking you can use the buses from ''Rede Expresso'' for overland travels. The railway network is not in a good state, it is slow and there are only two lines. During the hot hours of "the Siesta" (2pm -5pm) traffic density is decreased- '''''Siesta'' is a Spanish concept and not done in Portugal that much unfortunately.'''
