The old CP trains are noisy, but they are well-equipped to transport bicycles. However, getting on and off the train can be difficult, especially with heavy bicycles. Ask the station master or conductor for help!

Fit in by the river, there is a nice cafe with crepes, waffles, drinks, and you can even have a swim in the river Bestança. There is also a picnic area. Worth stopping if you are doing n222.
