Leg 15: Lisbon to Monsanto. Visiting the Dragon's lair! [S2EP15]

We begin our homeward journey with a visit to a friend who lives in the picturesque town of Monsanto. This sleepy town is about halfway "up" Portugal on the eastern side around 30 miles from Spain. But it also doubles as the backdrop for Dragonstone in the hit TV series House of the Dragon. Our friend Suzi has moved here from the UK and is in the process of renovating an unloved Portuguese stone house. She even has a YouTube channel charting her progress. If you'd like to see her dream life in Portugal then check out: ‪@dreamlifeportugal‬ As the world transitions from petrol / diesel cars to electric vehicles the experience of motoring is changing. Come with us as we discover if we can make it from the UK to the bottom of Europe in a 8 year old, 85,000 mile Tesla. Are the sceptics right in saying that you can't take an electric car on a 4500+ mile road trip and is there enough range in a 8 year old battery? Oh, and can we get Elon Musk and Tesla to pay for all of our electricity? Find out here on The Long Free Ride.
