The Best Motorcycle Touring in Portugal, Serra da Estrela Ride on a Unique Motorcycle
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A day of motorcycle touring in Portugal moves from historic landmarks towards the mountain roads of Serra da Estrela. The ride is part of Pedro Mota’s Europe journey from the Netherlands to Portugal.
About this film
Pedro Mota’s film focuses on a ride in the Serra da Estrela mountains, which the description identifies as Portugal’s highest peaks and home to some of the country’s best motorcycle roads. The route brings together cultural stops and mountain touring, with the day’s progress shaped by an unexpected departure: Brownie leaves while Mota has not noticed. The episode sits within the catalogue series “Europe – Netherlands to Portugal,” giving this ride a place in a longer journey across Europe.
The journey
The day begins at Anta de Cortiçô, a Portuguese dolmen described as rich in history. From there, the ride takes in Linhares and its old Spanish border castle before heading into the Serra da Estrela mountains. The emphasis then shifts to riding the mountain roads. Along the way, Brownie is no longer with the group, a turn in the day that Mota says he did not notice as it happened. The film’s journey is therefore anchored in a clear progression: from an archaeological landmark and a border castle to touring in Portugal’s mountain interior.

- Motorcycle touring in Portugal’s Serra da Estrela mountains
