We did the 4 day Aveiro Little Venice holiday with a 2 day add-on in Porto. All the hotels were excellent. Special mention for the Furadouro hotel staff who were extremely welcoming, also spa and treatment were excellent (NB swim cap is needed). In Furadouro we highly recommend Restaurante Casa Figueiras which is a wonderful family restaurant with lots of locals, excellent BBQ seafood and service. On last day cycling we reduced the route as the beaches were just so beautiful along that coastline – particularly the Avenida da Praia off the pine woods with small café and lifeguard. In Porto, we upgraded to Infante Sagres which has beautiful décor. Would highly recommend port wine tour with Ramos Pinto.
We enjoyed it all and loved the freedom of cycling along the very good cyclepaths and boardwalks. The views of the lagoon and then the sea were wonderful.
I'm an occasional cyclist so I was very glad I had an electric bike which meant I could keep up with my husband, who cycles a lot.
My padded shorts helped for comfort as well!
HIGHLIGHTS: Seeing storks and flamingoes in their natural habitat, the Vista Alegre pottery was excellent, the stripy houses in Costa Nova, the fishermen in the lagoon, the pine forest and the beaches in Esmoriz.

This was our first time we had done a self guided cycling holiday, company having been recommended. The bikes, directions and transfers and hotels were all really good. Personal highlights were the board walks along the Atlantic coast and cycling the headland into Porto. Really enjoyed the holiday and thinking of a longer trip next time.
This is a nice, not too strenuous, cycling trip. I would suggest avoiding extra time in Furadouro as there is little to do and limited dining options.
