Good to know before you go to Portugal
Portugal has strong, reliable signal in Lisbon and Porto, and coverage stays solid along the Algarve coast and the popular Sintra day-trip route. It weakens somewhat in the rural Alentejo interior and on parts of Madeira and the Azores, where mountainous terrain creates local gaps between towns. A Lisbon-Porto-Algarve itinerary runs comfortably on 3-4GB a week for maps and navigating trams and trains.
