Who it's for
Adults and teenagers; child seat for small children

Parque Cerdeira, in Campo do Gerês, hires five electric bicycles with maps of two routes: the Mata da Albergaria one, through the oak wood and the Geira, and the Carvalheira and Bom Jesus das Mós one. With the motor, the Gerês slopes stop being a problem and you cover in a morning what takes a day on foot. They have a child seat for carrying a small child. Book ahead in summer: there are few.
