Quoting from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roads_in_Portugal#Estradas_Regionais :

"Most roads had/have branch roads emerging from them, usually to cover 
short distances or to connect to another National Road, those were/are 
numbered as EN X-Y (being X the number of the national road where the 
branch road origins; and Y the number of order, according to the point 
of origin)."
