excerpts from the tour of europe
« on: August 08, 2022, 09:50:50 »
ill post some of video here for anyone interested
we went from holland through belgium and luxembourg to the vosges
then down through central France south west to spain, then portugal then back into spain and south to andalucia before heading north again back towards santander
this is from north portugal
more adventures in europe on the Vstrom.
Riding 2 up exploring the roads around Vilarinho de Agrachao, near Braganca, portugal.
The roads were truly amazing, great surfaces, assistive cambers, predictable corners and very little traffic at all.
The countryside is wonderful around this area. The north east of Portugal is a bikers paradise.
Vilarinho de Agrachao does get the prize as the friendliest village we found on the whole tour
Visit it if you can and treat them well
Wonderful people in a beautiful place

more videos of the tour on youtube channel

We got back from Galicia and Northern Portugal at the end of June.
Nice people, nice roads, nice prices.

the journey from Asturias to Vilarinho was a memorable one for sure

we found a single track across the border through the land that time forgot  :auto-dirtbike: :auto-dirtbike:
