The ride, accommodations, and dining were superb. Armando Nava is an excellent guide who provided many insights along the way. Beautiful ocean towns and ocean sights. There was a nice north to south tailwind for the whole ride; you would not want to do it in the other direction! The Level 2 designation is appropriate. Porto, Lisbon, and Nazare are fascinating towns (cities) . Highly recommend.
Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride - MEO (Sep/17) This was my 7th cycling trip and biking was a great way to see this region of Portugal. The route is mostly flat with the occasional steep but short hill.. The views while cycling along the coast were beautiful. Our cycling group was a lot of fun and the pace was perfect such that we enjoyed a relaxing time at coffee stops (always near a beach) and got into the next town/city in time to explore a bit. The weather was perfect for cycling and we had no rain on the trip.
Great walks, great wine, great holiday A really wonderful holiday with very different walks and enjoyable/informative visits to wineries well led by Ricardo and Andrs. We enjoyed the holiday with a diverse and fun group that mixed Brits with Aussies and Canadians - keep doing this i suggest to our tour company it added another dimension to our trip.We enjoyed fantastic weather and it was good to be able to relax in hotels with excellent facilities - two infinity pools overlooking breathtaking scenery in one.Lunches at the quintas were excellent especially the organic winery.
