Great choice tolx! Rally de Portugal is a fantastic event, besides it’s free to see and the living cost here is quite low (fuel is the exception) compared to North of Europe countries. There aren’t yet indications of ’18 RdP route, but probably it’ll take some of previous editions stages. You can get some info from last year’s initial pages topics:

Once we’re talking about spectating WRC events, the promoter estimations till Catalunya indicated Portugal and Argentina at the top, with 950.000 spectators each! Portugal and Argentina together gathered as many spectators as all the other 8 events (Finland included). Quite impressive! Btw, Portugal population is 10M, Argentina 44M.

How do they count spectators on free to attend events? With other events you can use the statistics of sold tickets and rally passes, but free events ... impossible.
I'm hoping to do Portugal next year, though I keep meeting Finnish people who tell me their rally is the best. Perhaps some kind of cosmic hint? My wallet may well decide the outcome though :)
