Gravel Days
About this tour
Join us for a heartfelt five-day gravel adventure through Portugal’s nature, history and traditions.
Starting in Figueira da Foz, where the river meets the sea, the route moves inland towards Coimbra, a historic university city filled with character, tradition and stories to uncover. From there, the journey continues into the rugged landscapes of Serra da Lousã and the historic Aldeias do Xisto.
Over five days, we ride from river and sea to the mountains, following quiet roads, wild tracks and scenic gravel sections shaped by the rhythm of the group. Expect long landscapes, local culture, good food and the simple pleasure of discovering places that feel real.
Each route is planned according to the group, the season and the conditions, creating a ride that feels personal, natural and connected to the places we pass through.
The first routes will focus on:
Central Portugal
A varied five-day journey from Figueira da Foz to Coimbra and into Serra da Lousã, connecting river, coast, forest tracks, mountain roads and the historic Aldeias do Xisto. This route is about contrast, discovery and a close connection to local culture, landscapes and food.Northern Portugal
