Day 12
Peso da Regua
April 19, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Viseu was marvellous but is surrounded by hills. Geographically we reached a the high point today- possibly for the whole trip? otherwise the high point was an interrupted 30km/ 800m descent to Peso. Here we join the Douro valley and will spend a couple of days exploring the area- lots of vineyards 🍷🤪. The descent took us through Lamego and a great Tapas bar halfway up the outrageous baroque staircase up to the Igreja.Read more
Traveler Looks great. Scenery outstanding. Weather fab. Enjoy the Douro. M & D

Traveler Love the sound of that descent. It would be bloody chilly to do that here. Keep peddling.

Peso is where we split from the n2 and I start to head east ( and Helen will head west to Porto and home). The Douro valley is a "must see" destination with terraced vineyards cascading down ( unfortunately ) steep hillsides. The Douro cuts deeply through mountains and drains a large part of the NE plains of Spain.the complex geography means a lot of steep ups and downs: not ideal bike touring country. So i've done todays 100k/2000m unlaiden and got the amazing "bucket list " train ride back to the start. Ride with gps came up with some outrageous route choices, including an extensive precipitous cobbled section- and a tarmac section that ( I think) will be the steepest road I've riden down. Good news though- from the last hill I could see Spain!!! Saturdays job.Read more
Traveler Saturdays riding- Spain!!!

Day 29
Duoro
October 5, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Heute ein Erholungstag. Ich war ziemlich kaputt gestern. Ausschlafen, dann Stadtbesichtigung von Lamego mit seiner berühmten Kirche. Erstmals wieder viele Touristen.
Dann eine 15 km Kurzetappe.
Dann eine weitere Landmarke: der Duoro/Duero. Er mündet bei Porto in den Atlantik. Habe ich das letzte Mal auf der via de la plata bei Zamora überquert. Hier der totale Touristenrummel! Was für ein Wechsel von Ruhe, Beschaulichkeit, menschleeren Dörfern und einsamer Natur zu Kreuzfahrtschiffen, Touribussen und Wohnmobilghettos. Die Preise sind auch angepasst.Read more

Régua, Capitale de la Region Douro
September 24, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Première expérience dans une ville rurale au coeur de la vallée du Douro.
Cerné par des collines terrassés pour la production de raisins servant à la création d'un ptit vin pas dégueu et légèrement connu du même nom qu'une ville déjà visitée... 🍇🍷Read more
