RouteXpert Review
This is the last route of a 10-day motorcycle holiday.

There are no scheduled stops for fuel, food, or drinks. Whenever you have the opportunity, stop at one of the points marked with a POI. Along the way, there are several small villages with restaurants and cafes.

Hotels, landmarks and recommended places to stop to enjoy the view are also indicated with a POI.

The last ride of this fantastic motorcycle holiday takes us to the end point of Porto via another beautiful route through Portugal's natural parks.

These roads are varied and sometimes challenging, with many curves. The panoramas are breathtaking, and there's plenty to see along the way. You'll ride through beautiful meadows, sierras, forests, along small rivers, mountain lakes, and villages.

The first part of the journey takes us through Montesinho National Park. Located in northwest Portugal, in the Trás-os-Montes region, it is one of the largest natural parks in Portugal. The slate and granite mountains form deep valleys, and the clear river waters flowing through them provide the perfect habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals.

Via the Paradela Dam we enter the southern part of Peneda-Gerês National Park, also a park with beautiful winding roads and stunning nature.

Be sure to stop at Miradouro das Cascatas de Fecha de Barjas, a small lake with a beautiful waterfall. It's a short walk from the parking lot.

Along the way there are a number of beaches along the Cavado River, where you can stop for a break and a dip in the river.

The last part of the journey we drive through a more urban area and partly on the highway to Porto, where you can stay for one or a few more days to enjoy this trip and the city itself.
