A Warm Welcome to Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I am always on the lookout for unique experiences that can be both educational and fun for the whole family. When I heard about the Pink Motorcycle Tour in Bragança, I was intrigued. The idea of exploring the Douro and Natural Parks on a pink Honda Monkey motorcycle sounded like an adventure that could be both thrilling and enriching.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Joao, Pedro, and Francisco, the passionate team behind Pink My Bike. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and they took the time to explain every detail of the tour, ensuring that I felt completely comfortable before we set off. Their customer service was exceptional, and I immediately felt at ease, knowing that my safety and enjoyment were their top priorities.

The Honda Monkey bikes were a delight to ride. They were easy to handle, making them perfect for a stress-free journey through the picturesque landscapes of Portugal. The intercom system provided allowed us to communicate effortlessly, sharing our excitement and observations as we rode through the stunning scenery.

Exploring the Scenic Routes

Our journey began in the Parque Natural de Montesinho, a serene area with little traffic, perfect for getting accustomed to the motorcycles. The fresh air and pristine nature were invigorating, and I couldn’t help but imagine how much my kids would enjoy such an adventure.

As we continued, we visited the charming village of Rio de Onor, straddling the border between Portugal and Spain. It was fascinating to see how the locals lived harmoniously, transcending the lines on a map. This was a perfect opportunity to learn about the region’s unique culture and history, something I always strive to incorporate into my travel experiences.

The highlight of the day was our stop in Miranda do Douro, where we indulged in the local gastronomy. The natural products and traditional dishes were a treat, and I made a mental note to bring my family here for a culinary adventure. The town’s rich culture and unique dialect added to the charm, making it a memorable stop on our tour.

A Journey to Remember

Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the team at Pink My Bike ensured that our experience was nothing short of amazing. Their constant support and attention to detail made the journey enjoyable and safe, even in the rain.

The routes we took were breathtaking, with each turn revealing a new vista more beautiful than the last. From the mystical town of Freixo de Espada à Cinta to the renowned N222 road, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. The hotels we stayed at were comfortable and welcoming, providing much-needed rest after a day of exploration.

As I rode through the Douro Valley, I couldn’t help but think about how this adventure would be perfect for families looking to explore Portugal in a unique and engaging way. The combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and the thrill of riding a motorcycle made it an unforgettable experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Pink Motorcycle Tour to anyone seeking a memorable adventure in Portugal. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or with family, this tour offers something for everyone. I can’t wait to return with my children and share this incredible journey with them.
