Sofia Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 First day was full of adventure and amazing views of the Douro Valley away from the tourist. Beautiful nature and at the same time man made landscapes that look like gardens but are actually working farms of wine and olives. This is a little daily news video, later will come riding videos. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Great vid. Feel like I’m on holiday with you Like where you shot the video and even more liked that the audio quality was good because normally theres wind noise wrecking it. Soz about the dimwit in the car, glad youre ok. Not great for the confidence is it but you look the sort who will manage to push on past it to triumph.. triumph boom boom.. aw come on who doesnt like a cracker joke?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like being in the saddle day after day to make you comfy with riding again! Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants close at 10:00pm, but loads are still closed because it’s not profitable to open. Some hotels are also closed, but we’re coping Rode for 40 or 50km today, before stopping... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Unashamedly we stopped after 50 kms because it was a sin not to! The atmosphere, the food, the wine, the staff, the views. Had to be done!! many feelings of nostaglia hit hard because Alentejo is were many of my roots are. Nostalgic moments were many, the last one an orange cake exactly like my mothernal grandmother used to make and of course, could not stop some tears. Asked for the recipe and will start making many orange cakes!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
