Description

Recovering from a night of craft beer indulgence, the journey to Ponte de Lima was challenging but rewarding. The post-border stretch treated me to breathtaking scenery and serene roads. And, of course, a touch of Komoot adventure led me into the heart of nowhere—#hikeabike. Additional Info: Crossing into Portugal, you'll encounter the enchanting town of Valença, known for its historic fortress. The Portuguese border unveils a shift in scenery, offering a taste of what's to come.
