A GREAT ENVIRONMENT TO START LIVING THE EXPERIENCE
The iconic Douro Valley welcomes Ride Across Portugal’s caravan on Sunday.
The Accreditation Office, as well as all logistics are based at the event’s Official Hotel – Vila Galé Douro Vineyards, located on a wine producing estate on the slopes surrounding the Douro River.
After receiving their participant kit, bikes can be assembled in a dedicated space with the support of specialised mechanics. Each participant’s luggage and bicycle bag are kept by the Organisation till the end of the last stage.
The first briefing and the subsequent welcome dinner – based on local gastronomy – are the perfect moments for participants to have their questions answered, and to start connecting with all their companions in this unforgettable challenge.
