Saint John of Madeira to Grijo

This stage is characterized by the progressive approach to the great city of Porto. The route is a continuous rise and fall over terrain that alternates between wooded zones with increasingly urbanized areas. Asphalt takes center stage, although still enjoying pleasant rural stretches. The journey ends in Grijó, a famous locality known for its imposing Monastery of St. Salvador, a historical and spiritual landmark offering a haven of peace before the bustling final stage towards Porto.
