Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Meet at the airport in Porto and van transfer to Pinhão. After a light lunch we will explore the Douro river on a small boat so we can get a close look of the Port wine vineyards planted on terraces along the river´s shores. Back in Pinhão you can go for a short warm-up ride or just relax by our inn´s outdoor pool. Before dinner we will taste the famous local Port wine. Lodging - Vintage House Hotel.

Day 2: Pocinho - Marialva (49km).Before we start spinning the pedals we will take a short trip by train to the village of Pocinho using an old railway that follows the Douro river in all its beauty. On the way to Marialva – one of Portugal´s Historical Villages - we will stop for lunch in Quinta da Erva Moira and visit their Port Wine museum. Our inn has a small spa and an outdoor swimming pool. Lodging - Casas do Coro.

Day 3: Marialva-Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo (56km). Today we will connect two Historical Villages – Marialva and Castelo Rodrigo. These two medieval walled villages will take you back in time, remembering how the brave people that once lived here fought against the Spanish invadors. We will stay in Hospedaria do Convento, an inn that was once used by ecclesiastical visitors and high social rank Leics. This inn is part of the historical complex of Santa Maria de Aguiar and has a coat of arms dated from 1704. Lodging - Hospedaria do Convento

Day 4: Castelo Rodrigo-Barca de Alva (34km). Enjoy great views of Port Wine vineyards along the road that takes us to Barca de Alva. In Barca de Alva we will go for a kayak ride in theDouro river and have lunch on shore. If don´t feel like riding you can stay home an enjoy the pool or go for a donkey ride. Second night at Hospedaria do Convento.

Day 5: Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo-Almeida (75km). A quite challenging day of riding on the way to yet another Historical Village – Almeida. This village is one of the crown jewels of the Portuguese military arquitecture – the hexagonal shaped walls of Almeida´s fortress were built in the XVII century. Lodging - Pousada de Almeida.

Day 6: Almeida-Trancoso (63km). Today we will have another intense day of riding on the way to our final destination - the town of Trancoso. Expect some serious climbing but also breathtaking views. In Trancoso, the old part of town, built inside the majestic city walls, is definitely worth a visit. Lodging - Hotel Turismo de Trancoso.

Day 7: Early morning van transfer to Porto. In Porto we will visit a Port Wine cellar, where we can taste some of Portugal´s best Port wines. The rest of the afternoon will be spent exploring this exciting and unique city. Our hotel is located in the Praça da Ribeira, heart of the historical centre of Porto, and is built on part of the medieval city wall. It is within a block of town houses dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. This beautiful adjoining group of buildings was classified by Unesco as part of the World Heritage site which extends along the Douro River. Farewell dinner in one of Porto´s most popular restaurants. Lodging - Hotel Pestana Porto Carlton.
