I wish I could say I drove up this one but I had to capitulate pretty quickly. Problem is that because you have to cross a footpath first, you have to start from virtually standstill. At the top, you can't just ride through either and have to dismount again. So it is not really a through road and actually provided for pedestrians, but many cycle on it to test themselves.

I wish I could say I drove up this one but I had to capitulate pretty quickly. Problem is that because you have to cross a footpath first, you have to start from virtually standstill. At the top, you can't just ride through either and have to dismount again. So it is not really a through road and actually provided for pedestrians, but many cycle on it to test themselves. Apart from that, it's highly recommended if you're in Porto. It's a good way to get from the river into the city without too much traffic and you have a nice view of the Douro, so even if you end up walking up it's not a lost diversions.

Ik wou dat ik kon zeggen dat ik deze ben opgereden maar ik heb vrij snel moeten capituleren. Probleem is dat je doordat je eerst een voetpad over moet nagenoeg uit stilstand moet vertrekken. Bovenaan kan je ook niet zomaar door rijden en moet je nog eens afstappen. Het is dus niet echt een doorgaande weg en eigenlijk voorzien voor voetgangers, maar velen fietsen erop om zichzelf te testen. Los daarvan is het een aanrader als je in Porto bent. Het is een goede manier om van de rivier de stad in te gaan zonder te veel verkeer en je hebt er een mooi uitzicht op de Douro, dus zelfs al wandel je uiteindelijk naar boven is het geen verloren omweg.
