In Portugal too, the fight against Corona seems to be turning and they are becoming winners from losers. The Formula 1 will also go to Portugal this year due to the loss of the Grand Prix of Vietnam because the third race of the year will be held on Sunday 2 May at the circuit of Portimão. The Autodromo do Algarve is the place where it has to be done and where spectators admitted to the circuit last year saw world champion Lewis Hamiton win and Max Verstappen third.
excellent and relatively cheap
And the basis for a trip to Portugal is excellent. Accommodation is relatively cheap, especially outside the big cities. Friendly, helpful people, good food and drink, beautiful varied nature and views, beautiful golf courses. A coastline with extensive beaches on the Atlantic Ocean of more than 900 kilometers. Beautiful vineyards, mountains and many rivers. We start the journey of almost 4 hours driving in the north of Portugal where Elly and Gerard Bos in the bed & breakfast Villa Branca Barreiros have prepared five luxurious rooms and a suite to welcome the guests.
After a delicious breakfast, we travel on to Lisbon, where at the end of April the temperatures are between 14°C degrees and 22°C degrees. Although Portugal is located on the Iberian Peninsula, just like Spain, it has a different climate. Portugal is generally a bit cooler than Spain because of the cooler seawater of the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the weather is nice all over Portugal in April. The Algarve in particular already has excellent weather conditions for a wonderful, sunny holiday.
Formula 1 Grand Prix of Portugal 2021
The end of our journey takes us to the Algarve. The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve is a 4,692 km long race track in the municipality of Portimão. The track has a lot of height difference, which makes determining the braking point very difficult on the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve. This year, the Grand Prix of Portugal will take place in the weekend of April 30 to May 2, 2021. The first two free practice sessions will take place on Friday, followed by the important qualifying session on Saturday at 15:00 PM.
