With this route you can see lots of wine farms and have a taste in some one of them.

Also get in in the most famous national park "Gerês"

Also lots of nature and no pollution great roads to ride with very low traffic.

Some of what you can see:

Arcos de Valdevez:

A great village lots of story and tradition on the banks of the least polluted river in Europe
