PORTUGAL EXPLORER
Delicious roads, profound history, mountains, vineyards and camaraderie.. This is what we foresee during our Portugal Explore Adventure. This is an “Explore” style itinerary, so we will be staying up to three nights in a couple of places, so we can explode our bags in the hotel room and opt to either ride epic loops, sample some vineyards or just stroll downtown and take in the culture. Portugal is full of history, but did you know it has great roads too? This trip is especially tailored for couples, but however you want to join us, let it be known, you will love it.
We are hand-picking the very best roads of the country and giving you an opportunity to literally see all of Portugal in one fell swoop. So, if in Portugal you want to ride the best roads and experience the wildest National Parks and throw in some ocean side too, this is the ride for you.
Road Conditions: All paved, rider's roads.
