First, we’ll travel by train following the coastal waterfront of the Douro River. Fortunately, we shall attend at the hotel’s reception to get our bicycles, where we’ll have one night with breakfast included. You’ll have enough free time to visit the Pinhão railway station, its main church and, if you would like to enjoy sightseeing, having a cruise on our River Douro.
Always by road with an acceptable and good inclination’s rise, we’re going to cycle along the incredible view of the Douro River, entering through Portuguese landscape heritage of humanity. Be marveled with the vineyards of the Douro and its cultivation.
Our cycling journey continues throughout the green landscape of the Douro region, surrounded by vineyards. Our hospitality shall be in Penedono. You can visit the castle and explore Sírigo, which holds a circular route that takes the traveler through the neighboring villages and outskirts, such as the villages of Ferronha and A-do-Bispo.
Our route departs from the Douro River heading towards South, finding our daily hospitality in Marialva. You can visit the castle of four towers and the incredible church of Santiago. A land full of castles and with history sites, being classified as a one of several historical villages of Portugal.
The bicycle route will involve returning to the vineyards again, but now we can also watch the astonishing olives, another important Portuguese heritage, used especially as a sauce for refined dishes. Our route approaching the Douro River will be traversing its highest part, ending with an accommodation in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, a very well-known site for its pre-historic paintings.
You’ll have enough free time to rest or ride freely around Foz Côa, enjoying the olives and vineyards. Later, you can embark on an expedition with a 4x4 vehicle vehicle expedition to visit the pre-historic cave paintings and the Côa Museum. Our hospitality shall be in Vila Nova de Foz Côa.
At 14:30, we shall return our bicycles and at 15h00 we’ll return by train to Porto. The train route is an unforgettable journey, because it makes the level of the river at the foot of the slopes of the Douro’s vineyards. We can enjoy this unique landscape of the Douro...
