RouteXpert Review 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 final leg of this fantastic motorcycle holiday takes us to Porto, our final destination, via another beautiful route through Portugal's national parks. These roads are varied and sometimes challenging, with plenty of twists and turns. The panoramic views are breathtaking, and there's plenty to see along the way.
The first part of the journey takes us through Montesinho National Park. Located in northwestern 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 water flowing through them provides the perfect habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. Beautiful roads and stunning panoramas await. Beautiful meadows, sierras, forests, small rivers, mountain lakes, and villages await.
The last part of the route goes through urban areas and partly on the highway to Vila do Condo, the end point of this last day.
