Weekend getaway
Weekend getaway is for anyone who wants to have a short bike holiday and get to know Centro Portugal. Enjoy time-off from city life and get few active days on the bike to discover small villages and rural life near charming town of Luso.
It includes two guided rides that are quite different from each other. First one is a long day out climbing to the top of the mountain Caramulo. The very top is called Caramulinho and is very famous among the local cycling enthusiasts (top right photo). The climb is long, but very rewarding. The scenery changes as we climb higher. On clear days we can see the ocean on one side and continental Portugal highest point on the other side. Charming little mountain villages on the way.
Second day is shorter and takes us first to the amazing Bussaco palace garden (left bottom photo). From there on we ride on the hill side of Napoleonic battle fields until we reach an old windmill cluster with amazing views (right bottom video), on clear days we can see the Caramulinho mountain top conquered the day before.
