Lisbon (your return flight)
First and last days above refer to your arrival and departure to/from Lisbon. Plan your flights accordingly.
A tour through History and beautiful Nature. A carefully chosen itinerary that takes us along some of the best motorcycling roads in Europe. Along valleys and castles, beautiful deserted roads will take us to the highest peak of Portugal, Serra da Estrela, and will meander us through the mountain range of Picos da Europa.
Following the Kings Route, we´ll find the ancient Douro vineyards, preserved medieval towns and the historical cities of Salamanca, Ávila and Segóvia.
After crossing Castilla and Leon, we'll border the Cantabric Sea until we find the Saint James Way to Santiago de Compostela. Back to Portugal, we'll visit the lush Minho region, the town of Guimarães and beautiful Oporto, where we will visit the Port Wine Cellars.
On our way to Lisbon, Óbidos and Alcobaça are well worth a stop and on our last day, nothing could be better than following the nice coastal roads of Cascais, Estoril, and Sintra.
A Route that visits 12 Unesco Heritage Sites and 7 Natural Parks.
