We know that you will fall in love with biking in Portugal as we already have. What an amazing country and what an amazing region! On this electric bike tour in the Douro Valley, you do not have to worry about the hilly terrain. Just enjoy the unfolding vistas. You will combine visits to the traditional wineries with fulfilling bike rides through the vineyards and olive groves.
The Douro Valley has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage region with its endless olive groves and orange fields, vineyards, river beaches, and abundance of wildlife. The Portuguese people and others claim it is the most beautiful wine region in the world. Walls of schist support the climbing, gravity-defying vineyards, constructed over the centuries, each stone laid by hand, creating an astonishing and unique landscape.
Still today, there is a focus on the handmade. It is common to find local estates where grapes are still harvested by hand and crushed with bare feet.
For the first time in her cycling career, Hennie used an electric bike for a tour and she was glad she did. The beauty of this tour should not be avoided because of the hills! However, if you are up for the challenge, and hills are your thing, you can opt for a hybrid bike or road bike.
