    Tips

    January 5, 2023

    Emblematic place for cycling in Portugal.
    It requires legs to go up, some organization of the clothes to take (upwards it is always hot and downwards it is always cold, very frequent rains), detailed analysis of the meteorological conditions of the moment (see the Vítor Baía Meteo website) and some patience to tolerate car rabies.


    From Piornos / Nave de Santo António upwards, the road solution is simple: take your bicycle in the center of the carriageway and cars that slow down and overtake only in the places allowed by the signs. This is the safest solution. Between 1500m and 1990m of altitude, what is the effort of the cyclist, compared with the comfort of the heated interior of cars?
