Our test drive in Portugal

Our goal is no less than the south of Portugal: the city of Lisbon with its pastel-colored houses, narrow streets and artistic corners, so wonderfully nestled at the shore of the Tejo river.

The sun is shining, spring temperatures are pleasantly warm and our trip with the new Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires from Michelin is on the agenda. The Jaguar F-Pace is ready and we have quite an adventure ahead of us: it will take us across picturesque bridges, endless coastal roads and through the historic old town of Lisbon.
