Family Tour in the North of Portugal

from Porto to Mira

Itinerary

Route

Tour profile/ level 1-2

You cycle on paved roads only. The stages are family-friendly and range from 19 to a maximum of 46 km per day.

Day 1: Porto

Arrival and transfer from Porto airport to your arrival hotel in Porto. Explore the city with its impressive bridges and the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town.

Day 2: Porto – Furadouro, approx. 46 km

The first day starts in the old town of Porto, where you cross the Dom Luís bridge, which offers spectacular views of the Douro River. On the way, you will have the opportunity to explore several small beaches such as Valadares, Francelos and Miramar. At Miramar beach, it is worth stopping to visit the famous Capela do Senhor da Pedra. In Espinho, a seaside resort, you continue on a beautiful bike path along the pine forest to Furadouro beach. On the way, you will discover the beautiful Paramos Lagoon (also known as the Esmoriz Lagoon), where you can observe some bird species.

Day 3: Fuadouro – Murtosa, approx. 34 km

You leave Furadouro and head towards Ria de Aveiro on flat roads. The Ria de Aveiro is a shallow coastal lagoon connected to the Atlantic Ocean. Its unique mastoid wetland has several branches that form islands, and it is an absolute pleasure to cycle along it. The beach of Praia da Torreira, surrounded by dunes, is a prime surfing spot!

Day 4: Murtosa – Aveiro, approx. 33 km

The Ria de Aveiro, the shallow coastal lagoon you saw yesterday, extends to the city of Aveiro. The canals of the Ria run through the city and convey an atmosphere of calm and beauty that cannot be found anywhere else. If you arrive in time, take a ride in one of the Moliceiro boats. In the past, these boats were used to harvest the mole, an algae often used to fertilize agricultural land.

Day 5: Aveira – Praia de Mira, approx. 43 km

You leave Aveiro and cycle through traditional salt marshes where salt has been harvested for generations. Continue to a jetty overlooking the harbor and old cod boats. After crossing the main bridge, you will reach the village of Barra. On the way to Mira, you will admire the famous, colorfully striped haystack houses of Costa Nova. Soon the Ria lagoon will shape the landscape, before small fields and vegetable gardens accompany you to the beach at Mira.

Day 6: Mira – Porto, transfer

Transfer from Mira to Porto Airport and individual departure.
