Porto

There was so much crammed into this trip – I saw a lot of Portugal but didn’t get a true feel for Portugal. Not much down time and a lot of road traveling

Robert Karnofski Highlights of Portugal

My second exodus trip in portugal and once again the food (especially the picnics) was exceptional. Not quite enough cycling to burn off all the calories from the pasteis de natas and other delicious pastries/cakes! The scenery on this trip was the best I have experienced on an exodus trip – on other trips I’ve found some great scenery interspersed with longer stretches on roads with nondescript views, on the porto to lisbon trip it was multiple stunning beach/cliff views with forest, boardwalk, bays and quaint villages. Hotels were generally of very good quality (worth the superior comfort level advertised). The start hotel was changed to the Hotel Vila Gale which was OK but could do with a refurb of the rooms (doesn’t look as good as the planned hotel neya).

This was a memorable trip. With torrential rain and gusting head and cross winds, our spirits weren’t dampened. Dinis, Teresa and Leonel were the perfect team, all dedicated to making our holiday special. The route was interesting and the pace comfortable with plenty of coffee shops in lovely locations.
