Day 1: Porto
Upon your arrival, you will be greeted at Porto airport and transferred to your hotel in the city center, from where you can explore the beautiful Porto. Porto is a historical gem with over 150 monuments declared as world heritage sites. Immerse yourself in the authenticity of the typical neighborhoods and their people, and the flavors that mark their identity. End the day by toasting with the excellent wine that bears the city's name.

Day 2: Porto – Furadouro (42 km; +/-213 m)
Today you will leave the hustle and bustle of the city to reach the peace and tranquility of the Atlantic coast. You will cycle through numerous towns nestled along the coast and within pine forests. The day ends in Furadouro, a hospitable city renowned for its excellent fish. Enjoy your meal!

Day 3: Furadouro – Aveiro (41 km; +/-119 m)
Today's stage is a pleasant ride that will take you to Aveiro. If you have time, you might take a trip on a Moliceiro, the brightly painted wooden boats used to collect algae, along the canals for which Aveiro is called the Portuguese Venice. Be sure to visit the salt pans and enjoy the wonderful calming properties of sea salt by soaking your feet in small ponds.

Day 4: Aveiro – Mira (35 km; +/-94 m)
Today's stage is a great mix of beaches, pine forests, and riverside paths. Mira, where you will stay overnight, is a small fishing village where the main activity is artisanal fishing with colorful boats once pulled by oxen. You will surely be inspired by the beautiful colorful striped houses and friendly locals. Observe the golden effect of the sun on the sand, the sea, the vegetation, and the contrasting brightness of the landscape colors. Make sure to visit the fantastic fishing village of Praia de Mira to discover the typical wooden houses called palheiros and indulge in the fantastic seafood specialties you will find here. You can conclude the day with a walk along the beautiful Mira lagoon enjoying the splendid natural landscape.

Day 5: Mira – Figueira da Foz (58 km; +/-360 m)
Today you will leave the enchanting town of Mira heading towards Figueira da Foz, along the Portuguese silver coast. You will cycle through green fields, long beaches, and a large pine forest. The stage follows a cycle path that runs along the Estrada Atlântica. Surrounded by well-preserved dunes, the picturesque and peaceful village of Praia da Tocha has a huge golden sandy beach extending to the north. Figueira da Foz is the ideal destination to rest.

Day 6: Figueira da Foz – Coimbra (45 km; +/-132 m)
Today's stage will take you along rice fields and lush countryside. You will cycle along the Mondego River up to Coimbra, where you will be welcomed by a modern riverside park with bars and terrace restaurants, a pedestrian bridge crossing the river, and large shopping centers. The beautiful historic center of this university town cascades down the hill to the eastern bank of the Mondego, a colorful collage of ancient buildings. During the academic year, especially on summer evenings, Coimbra's streets, home to the second oldest university in Europe after Bologna, resonate with the songs of students and the sound of their mandolins, the characteristic Fado of Coimbra.

Day 7: Coimbra – Porto
After breakfast, transfer to Porto airport and end of the tour.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
