Portugal has to offer?

Hi All

Apologies I speak no Portuguese and am here for a few weeks.

Currently in Porto and hoping to get some good riding in while I'm here.

I'm travelling with a camper van so can move around quite easily.

I've seen quite a bit on the Internet about sintra outside lisbon and all the riding down south in the Algarve.

Anything near Porto? Any good websites with maps or companies that do enduro/dh type riding?

I have a 160mm dual suspension bike.

Any and all help appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Iain

 

Even if you understand what I'm looking for but want to respond in Portuguese I'm happy to use Google translate.

Just looking for sites and help finding trails.

Thanks again

 

Hi Iain. I recommend the Ponte de Lima Bike Park. It's around 80km north of Porto. I think it's open every day and has both enduro and dh tracks.

Also, there's a big all mountain community in cities like Braga and Sintra. Have a look at these portuguese foruns:

Cheers. I'll definitely check those out. Thanks!

 

Heading into the park at Sintra tomorrow.

Any hints?

I'll be following the trails from the Pinkbike website Trailforks. If those don't work I'll just be exploring
