Portuguese Climate
There is a north south divide in the climate of Portugal, with the north being classified as Oceanic and the south Mediterranean. The south of the country is one of the hottest places in Europe, with an average temperature of around 18°C (64°F) compared to just 13°C (55°C) in the north.

Mainland Portugal is split by its main river, the Tagus. The northern region is mountainous, with river indented plateau valleys, often coated with snow. On the other hand the southern region enjoys a climate similar to southern Spain, with rolling fields and dried flats.

Driving in Portugal
As with most countries the vehicles in Portugal drive on the right side of the road, unless otherwise indicated. Vehicles coming from the right have priority over other vehicles at intersections and squares, with vehicles already on roundabouts also having priority. The road signs on Portugal should be easily understood by international visitors, as they comply with international standards.

The following papers must be carried on you when driving:

• Personal ID
• Driving licence
• Motor insurance certificate
• Vehicle registration or equivalent
• Vehicle logbook or equivalent

Speed limits for standard vehicle are:

• 50 kph (31 mph) - Built-up areas
• 90 kph (55 mph) - Normal roads
