Have done this kind of thing a quite few times using one of these. packs small enough to take in panniers on the tour, and then at each airport just ask around for old cardboard boxes out the recycling at coffee shops etc, and then stuff that in for padding, tape some around the more delicate bits, and pack the bike there. One good thing is you can shove loads of your kit and bags in there too, so less checked luggage
Have cycled the other way from Lisbon, heading down south to Faro, but all the municipal campsites we found in Portugal were always great!

what's the downside of wearing a helmet?
In think a lot of people who don’t use one (self included) wouldn’t necessarily say there is one. (That said, I’m glad I don’t have to always carry one around every day). It’s just that the same statement applies at many times in your waking life, where there is often some varying degree of head injury risk which might be mitigated (often actually only in a very small way) by head protection. I don’t have the source, but I think when you look at the numbers (eg per
mile travelled) the cycling risks actually are quite negligible, and compare similarly enough to other activities like walking, using the stairs, or driving.So for me, good on those who want to wear one (eg yourself), but it’s not worthy of any particular notice or concern to me when people don’t
