The diversity of the landscapes: ocean coastline, estuaries, rivers and canals, forests and dunes, salt marshes, fields and typical villages
From Porto, the proud capital of northern Portugal, on the banks of the majestic Douro, this route follows the Atlantic coast southwards, skirting the ocean, its beaches and cliffs, as well as the rivers, estuaries, lakes, lagoons and canals of this beautiful region. You cycle through majestic pine and mimosa forests, dunes and salt marshes, rice fields, and orchards. The coastline of northern Portugal is unspoilt and picturesque. Rural life, fishing and tourism seem to have found a balance that allows travellers to experience both authenticity and hospitality.
Porto, Aveiro and Coimbra are beautiful stopover towns of exceptional heritage, highlighting the different periods in history of this small Iberian country. The small coastal towns and picturesque villages are also ideal stop-off points during this immersive trip into the Portuguese art of living.
