  • Really enjoying this – we live near a bit of the N2 and really love the lazy winding drive to town and out again. But one thing troubles me, why N Dois?
    and not Duas? Estrada, Rua, Rota. We look forward to hearing the reason.
    Many thanks.

    • Thank you!
      Actually, the 2 relates to number = número (masculine noun). N2 is short for Nacional 2, being Estrada Nacional número 2 = National Road number 2. 🙂

      • Muito obrigado por teres partilhado a solução! Foi muito irritante não compreender a razão. Agora fico descansado!
