Day 1: Porto - Porto
Upon your arrival in Porto, you will be enveloped by the magical atmosphere of this historic Portuguese city. After settling in at the hotel and preparing your bicycles for the following days, take some time to explore the ancient alleys and breathtaking views offered by the Porto Cathedral. You will conclude the day with a well-deserved rest, full of expectations for the adventure that awaits you.

Day 2: Porto - Esposende (65 km; +270 m)
Your ride begins in the spiritual heart of Porto, the majestic Cathedral. You will start by following the flow of the Douro River to the Atlantic, admiring charming views such as those of Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira. Feel the fresh sea breeze as you head to Vila do Conde, a town rich in history. Here, you will visit the Convent of Santa Clara and the São João Fort, immersing yourself in the authentic maritime atmosphere. You will continue inland, passing through traditional villages and discovering the Monastery of Rates, a true Romanesque gem. Finally, you will return to the coast, passing through the Northern Littoral Natural Park to reach Esposende, with the sound of the ocean lulling you to sleep.

Day 3: Esposende - Ponte de Lima (55 km; +420 m)
You will leave the enchanting coastlines of Esposende to enter the Cávado River valley. Cycling through vineyards and lush forests, you will arrive in Barcelos, known for its symbolic rooster. After exploring the town, you will continue through rural villages where time seems to stand still, reaching Ponte de Lima. Portugal's oldest town will welcome you with its cobblestone streets and renowned green wine.

Day 4: Ponte de Lima - Valença/Tui (36 km; +630 m)
Crossing the Roman bridge of Ponte de Lima is just the beginning of this memorable day. The challenge awaits you in the climb to Serra da Labruja, followed by a descent towards Valença do Minho. The town offers a journey back in time with its fortifications and historic buildings. Don't miss the opportunity to contemplate the sunset from the walls, with your gaze lost over the Minho River and the town of Tui.

Day 5: Valença/Tui - Pontevedra (60 km; +670 m)
Begin your journey on Spanish soil in Tui, immersed in a context rich in history. You will cross forests and historic bridges like the San Telmo Bridge, arriving in Redondela, overlooking the picturesque Ria de Vigo. Experience the charm of the ancient alleys of Arcade and the lively center of Pontevedra, where you are encouraged to savor the local specialties and let yourself be transported through history among its medieval buildings.

Day 6: Pontevedra - Santiago de Compostela (65 km; +900 m)
The final stage will lead you through increasingly picturesque landscapes to Santiago de Compostela. You will pass through Caldas de Reis, known for its thermal waters, and Padrón, the legendary landing point of St. James's body. You will feel the energy rising as you approach Santiago. Arriving in front of the majestic cathedral will be an unforgettable experience, full of emotion and gratitude.

Day 7: Farewell Day
It is time to leave your hearts among the Spanish and Portuguese lands, with the hope of soon reliving new adventures. You will carry with you the indelible memories of the wonders explored along the way.

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.).
