GRAVEL

Had a fantastic week of cycling. A group of 7 of us and 2 guides cycled through beautiful countryside, stopping in picturesque little villages during each days ride. Staying in different high quality accommodation each night. The guides we had with us, Rodrigo and Luis were great. Well organised, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We felt extremely well looked after. Planning our return trip already.

This was my first bike tour and it was the best vacation I have taken. Traveling town to town, over varied terrain including beach boardwalks, medieval cobblestone roads, dirt paths, rocky trails, and cruising through small towns, thriving cities, beautiful agricultural lands and vineyards, and bisecting gorgeous pine forests, fed all my senses. The boutique hotels they chose for us were each special in their own way. In addition to the exceptional customer service and outstanding hotel choices, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the restaurant recommendations; I strongly suggest going with their choices. Portugal and Spain are each beautiful countries and the culture changed more than I expected as we moved along the route. Experiencing the region on two wheels gave us the opportunity to experience these countries using all five senses, at a perfect pace to take it all in. We Lived, We Loved and We Rode our way through one of the best experiences of our lives.
