Arrival
Welcome to Porto
Arrival in Porto from Italy and preparation of the trip. The aircraft operations and the accommodation of the first day will be specified in the definitive program.
Step 1 · About 35 km
Porto → Póvoa de Varzim
You follow the Douro to the Atlantic, along a predominantly flat path. On the coast the first footbridges appear: in the sections reserved for pedestrians, you follow the alternative roads suitable for bicycles.
Step 2 · About 50 km
Póvoa de Varzim → Viana do Castelo
It continues north, between open beaches and sandy stretches, until Viana do Castelo. The historic center and the riverfront offer a break between palaces and city views.
Step 3 · About 80 km
Viana do Castelo → Oia
The longest stage of the program crosses the Minho to enter Spain. The long beaches are replaced by rocky bays and more hilly landscapes, as far as Oia and the monastery of Santa María la Real.
Step 4 · About 70 km
Oia → Pontevedra
It continues through Baiona and Vigo, alternating coasts, stretches in the green, short climbs and descents. Possible stop at Arcade before reaching Pontevedra, on the banks of the Lérez.
Step 5 · About 40 km
Pontevedra → Pattern
The path continues between woods and uphill. The shortest distance leaves room for the discovery of Padrón, but the levels still require attention to the rhythm of the pedal.
Step 6 · About 20 km
Master → Santiago de Compostela
The last pedal ride leads to Santiago, to Plaza do Obradoiro, in front of the cathedral. It is time to share the arrival after the road travelled together. The program includes overnight stay in Santiago.
After arrival
Santiago → Port → Italy
Transfer by bus from Santiago to Porto, with overnight stay in Porto before returning to Italy. Included are the bus and transfer to the airport upon return; the flight is excluded.
