Parades de Coura

Northern Portugal is quite hilly and the roads steep. Even 40km today in intense heat is a bit challenging. 

I reach my host in Silverto before lunchtime and glad not to be riding further in such intense heat. I get to stay in the forest with Matijas, who I contacted via the TrustRoots hospitality platform. It was definitely worth the detour to find out more about this forest project/ farm.
