Take off with the family for five or eight days of cycling around Peneda-Gerês National Park in Northern Portugal. The self-guided itinerary below can be adjusted to suit your family’s preferences with more or less time in the saddle combining wonderfully well with strolls along the rivers Lima and Vez, and time spent exploring in some of the oldest inhabited villages in Portugal. Cycling between the historic villages of Sistelo, Soajo and Ermelo is a real joy with achievable daily distances of 20 – 40kms on quiet tarmac roads adding to the laid back agricultural ambience of this lesser-known rural area. Not only is this region of Northern Portugal abundant in ancestral heritage and flat terrain but it’s also a lot milder than the rest of the country making it an ideal environment for cycling holidays. Dedicated cycling paths criss-cross the Peneda-Gerês National Park and provide a truly peaceful and picturesque vision of Portugal, far from the crowds congregating closer to the coast down south. Throughout this self-guided family holiday you’ll receive full details of cycling routes, bike support, maps and airport transfers as well as warm and welcoming B&B; accommodation and a trip to the city of Porto on your final day. A local cycling guide can also be included at an additional cost.
