We like to think of Northern Portugal as European cycling’s best kept secret. This randonnée will take us deep into the mountains and right to the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful countries, on a point-to-point journey of discovery that celebrates Portugal’s rich past and unique way of life.
The riding is all on narrow, quiet roads that twist through an incredibly diverse landscape, from the Serra da Estrela National Park, home to the highest roads in the country, to the beautiful banks of the Douro, where every inch of the surrounding hills is wrapped in precious vineyards.
You’ll explore hilltop towns and pristine nature reserves, stay in a hand-picked selection of unique, charming properties and indulge in the best food and wine that this culinary treasure trove has to offer. There will be some truly spectacular views along the way and a very special finish in wonderful Porto, a city that overflows with culture and history. And because so many of our team call this place home, we can offer the kind of local knowledge that guarantees a truly unforgettable week.
