Full-day bike tour in the Douro valley: Porto – Pinhão – Porto

Your day starts with a transfer from your hotel in Porto or in the Douro to Pinhão, where your tour departs. Start your ride going north, towards Sabrosa and then to Parada do Pinhão, on a beautiful plateau overlooking Pinhão river.

You’ll enjoy the variety of terrain, riding in a peloton and pushing a little harder just before the stop at the café.

3 EXPERT
