Description

Despite a few bone-rattling kilometers on cobbles, this day was a highlight. Calm roads and picturesque landscapes made up for the minor discomfort. Porto, with its riverside charm, awaited at the end of a memorable journey. Additional Info: The Douro Valley, famous for its terraced vineyards, is a cycling paradise. As you approach Porto, catch glimpses of the river winding through the hills.
