Cycling beside the Vigo River
The following morning your adventure begins as you cycle out of the city and start to follow the glorious Atlantic Coast northwards. For the next six days you will cover between 30 and 68 kms per day on flat or gently undulating terrain as you follow the coastline north. Each day brings new and exciting experiences. The historic old ship building town of Viana do Castello is one such example and boasts a fascinating medieval centre. On most days you will also pass delightful coves and fabulous sandy beaches so we highly recommend packing some beachwear in your pannier in case you fancy a dip.
Each night you will stop in small towns and villages along the way. The seafood in these parts is amongst the best in Europe and the local restaurants pride themselves on the quality and freshness of their mouth-watering dishes.
Finally, the route delivers you to Santiago de Compostela, the goal of pilgrims from all over Europe for over a thousand years. Sit in the main square in front of the cathedral, toast your own success and watch tired but euphoric pilgrims arrive at the end of their long journey's from all over Europe. The route is mainly on paved roads and bikes lanes and a few sections on dirt roads.

Discover wild, remote beaches and coves, washed by crashing Atlantic rollers. Overnight in sleepy fishing villages and historic towns.
Bookended by two iconic cities, the Silver Coast, between Porto and Lisbon, is probably the most popular stretch of coastline for leisure cyclists and we offer a number of options along this very popular route.
To the north, the scenic Portuguese Camino route leads cyclists from Porto, across the border into Spain and on to the pilgrims' town of Santiago de Compostela.
Further south, our relaxing, get-away-from-it-all route to Cape Vincent on the western tip of the Algarve is guaranteed to recharge the batteries.
Finally, another option is to leave the coast and spend a few days in the glorious Alentejo countryside, near Evora, in a charming ranch-style guesthouse. Daily rides into the surrounding countryside reveal cork-tree groves, vineyards, flowering meadows and medieval, hilltop towns
","Portugal ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to leisure cycling holidays. A pleasant climate all year round, coupled with an impressive cycle path network designed to showcase the stunning Atlantic Coast. Add to this the chance to explore the historic and fascinating cities of Porto and Lisbon and it's no wonder more and more cyclists are choosing Portugal for their cycling holiday
