With eleven Tagus crossings already behind us, the road back begins. This chapter runs from Abrantes to Santarém: Almourol Castle, perched on its rocky island and the ultimate symbol of the Templars in Portugal; Golegã, the country's "horse capital"; the Chamusca Iron Bridge, a textbook example of early-20th-century ironwork; and the D. Luís I Bridge in Santarém, once the largest bridge on the Iberian Peninsula.

A Journey Through the Senses with 2RidePortugal – Part 2: Mountains, Colors, and Scents

In Part 2 of our journey with 2RidePortugal, the road rises into the mountains — and with it, a deeper connection to nature, freedom, and self. From the laughter-filled night in Viseu to the exhilarating dance of curves through vibrant landscapes, this leg of the trip speaks through scent, silence, and sweeping views. At the mountain peaks, where the world falls away and breath comes easier, we discover that happiness sometimes lives in the simplest moments — wind in your hair, stories around a table, and the scent of wild mountain air.
