Drivers were remarkably aware and comfortable with bikers and mopeds on the same road. We have not experienced any discomfort from idiots and actually felt safe even on the busy roads. Having said that there were tons of dedicated and/or separated bike lanes and the secondary roads were mostly quiet. I'd guess we were 40% on bike lanes or gravel bike paths, 40% on secondary roads and 20% on busy roads. ... and there was the time we mistakenly entered the turnpike in Spain. ;-) It was on our second or third day while we were still getting bearing on what is what :-)
I will try to piece together some routes. I was running Strava but a few times forgot to turn it on or it quit on me.
