Minho to Porto

Cycle from Minho to Porto

Cycle from the beautiful spa town of Monção in the Alto Minho region to the bustling historical city of Porto, passing through fortified towns, rural communities, valleys cloaked in vineyards and coastal nature reserves along the way. Follow the Minho River, lined with fabulous views and wildlife, before continuing down the Atlantic Coast to the historical city of Viana do Castelo. Sample crisp Vinho Verde wines and seafood delicacies, and then follow the Lima River to Portugal's oldest town, where more wine and local tapas awaits. After a stop in Barcelos, located on the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail, return to the coast for more wonderful beaches and fishing communities. Your final leg will be to the city of Porto, finishing with a port wine tasting at one of of the city's most prestigious cellars.
