My motorcycle ride from Porto to Coimbra took an unexpected turn. I chose the scenic route, battling breathtaking mountain passes and roads so steep they tested my bike's limits. After getting hopelessly lost and backtracking, I found my way to Coimbra and fell in love. A perfect, humbling adventure.
