Description
Cycle over gentle hills through unspoiled green and gold landscapes. Explore winding vineyards, rows of gnarled cork trees, and ancient villages perched on hilltops. Marvel at the sights in Vila Viçosa, the marble capital of Portugal and site of the glorious Ducal Palace. Journey through the ages with a stay at the Convento do Espinheiro, a converted fifteenth-century convent, and visits to ancient megalithic sites. Discover quaint pottery shops in Redondo and hand-stitched tapestries in Arraiolos. Culinary delights abound on this bike tour through the breadbasket of Portugal, with grand meals, exquisite local meats and cheeses, and a complete exploration of the region’s staggeringly diverse wines.
