Sofia Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Yesterday had to pick up some medical products at the Veterinarian Hospital I work with, normally 28 kms, but decided to go the longer way round, including a ride up the highest elevation near me at 395m. It was very windy up there, but it was worth it for the views and the peaceful feeling I enjoyed there. On previous visits, mainly with @Pedro, the location always provided us with big views for good pictures! And because it is my intention to not miss out on BOTM in December, I have collected some material!! On a previous post, mine or Pedro's, not sure, we talked a little about this location and its history. One of the most not-so-amusing moments of my incursions into off-roading was going up this hill a couple of years back! Suddenly there was no more tarmac road, just dirt and loose rock for the Pirelli's to deal with! Here is the video. This road is now fully tarmac, thank God! At least for me, others AVDs will disagree!! The road winds it self through wine country and the vineyards, now naked from their leaves, but still very pretty and the land hugs us with its undulations. It is actually a very pretty region this, with well established wine houses that produce many litters of nice wine. It has its own route of Wine helping the tourists find find a good tipple!! On the road to Torres Vedras, the N8, a new bikers cafe has opened and I was able to enjoy a lovely pork steak sandwich and the traditional expresso, the cafezinho! Lovely crowd that, like me, lived in the UK for almost 20 years. Its called Route N8 Cafe, which is cool!! If any of you ever visits this region, for a sure a good place to stop. Here are some pictures! And to end the day, took advantage of a gorgeous Sunset, spreading a little more magic over the Triumph! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
