Boas tardes!!!

Always good to see another Portuguese around here...
Northern Portugal is great, if not for off roading, as biking roads, some really nice roads in the north, specially around Serra da Estrela with all the hairpins..

Hi there JP:5bseeya:,

Yes, I agree with you. For now, I am preparing a trip for next 6 June in Alto Douro, starting at Peso da Régua, Fontelo, Armamar, Santo Adrião, Tabuaço, Távora and Valença do Douro. The landscapes are great. I will post here the photos.

Best regards,
