This tour took us partly along the beach, partly through the forest and a short distance along the main road to Foz. There are wonderful sandy beaches that encourage you to linger or for those who are frost-proof also for swimming at 14 degrees. It's exciting to see how far the Atlantic is retreating.

Today we did a tour to Foz. There is a wonderfully signposted way to get there. However, it is partly more for mountain bikers. Our e-bike had to work 🥴 but it worked 😆👍
