10 days - itinerary

day 1 - Lisboa - Nazaré

The journey begins with the Atlantic Ocean as your constant horizon. Riding through the Sintra Mountains and along the Atlantic coastline, the tour heads north, following some of Portugal’s most scenic coastal roads.

day 2 - Nazaré - Porto

The ocean remains a constant presence. Today you ride through the “Venice of Portugal” before continuing towards Porto, arriving with a majestic entrance into the city.

day 3 - Porto - Parque natural da Penda-Gerês

The scenery changes dramatically. Leaving the city behind, the ride continues towards Braga — the gateway to one of Portugal’s most beautiful and iconic regions: Peneda-Gerês National Park.

day 4 - Gerês - douro

Leaving Gerês behind, we briefly cross into Spain before riding one of the most beautiful roads in the world — the legendary N304 — towards the breathtaking Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

day 5 - Douro - Serra da Estrela

Portugal is home to more than one legendary road — and the iconic N222 is an essential part of our route. From the Douro Valley to the country’s deep interior, the landscape transforms once again as you ride into the true soul of Portugal. A day of open scenery and rich historical heritage.

day 6 - Serra da estrela - serra da estrela

A relaxed riding day dedicated to exploring the wonders of Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal. Expect a true sense of achievement and complete connection with the road.

day 7 - Serra da Estrela - Marvão

Leaving Serra da Estrela, the route follows Portugal’s remote interior — through landscapes featured in Game of Thrones, along quiet secondary roads and through villages untouched by modern Europe.

day 8 - Marvão - Beja

We enter the heart of the Alentejo, where the landscape transforms once again. Culture, gastronomy, and one of Europe’s largest artificial lakes shape the journey. Remote, lesser-explored places that truly deserve to be discovered.

day 9 - Beja - Lagos

From the endless Alentejo straights to the Serra do Caldeirão, the ride returns to flowing curves and technical mountain roads as you head south. Discover hidden corners and scenic backroads known only to locals.

day 10 - Lagos - Lisboa

The return leads back to the sea, crossing one of Portugal’s most beautiful mountain ranges with a turquoise-blue backdrop. The road winds along the coastline before a memorable entrance into the city, closing the journey with a powerful mix of emotion and accomplishment.
